NYC-DSA 🌹

#NYC is one of the most unequal cities in the country, but it doesn’t have to be that way. As democratic socialists, we’re building working class power to challenge the dominance of the wealthy and the powerful in the 5 boroughs. If you want to build a better New York, join us! socialists.nyc/join

Midterms are around the corner and across the country, socialism is winning. Last week, the electoral working groups of NYC-DSA and @detroitdsa.bsky.social met up to share lessons on how we can build our movement to win more — from the ballot box to the streets to the shop floor. 🌹

Early voting runs from Oct. 24 through Sunday, Nov. 1! Voting early gives you more flexibility to get to the polls and makes for a less hectic Election Day. Don't wait, vote as early as you can and send our socialist slate to office! 💪 🌹 P.S. If you're not registered, you have until tomorrow!

Yesterday, ICE agents shot, wounded, and abducted Oscar Belgal. When the community gathered in solidarity, they were met with police violence. We say no more. ICE out of New York. Abolish ICE. End NYPD violence and complicity.

We’re proud to join our comrades at @sbworkersunited.org to #BoycottStarbucks until baristas win a fair union contract. Starbucks has broken labor laws more than any other company in modern U.S. history. Working people need to stand together against them. BoycottStarbucks.net

A new report from the Center for New York City Affairs at The New School affirms what we already knew: that corporations and the ultra rich are taking more from our economy than ever. Working people create more wealth, but our wages stay stagnant. New York must tax the rich.

The far-right MAGA billionaires said we couldn’t freeze your rent. Thanks to our working class movement we just did. Join DSA to help us defend the pied-à-terre tax and win even more.

3 years since we won the Build Public Renewables Act, New York is one step closer to solar socialism.☀️ This is only the first step. Hochul is pushing more fossil fuels and holding NY back from the public renewables we need. Join @nycdsaecosoc.bsky.social and fight for public power. ⚡️

The largest worker settlement in NYC history: that’s your city on socialism.🌹 When DoorDash ripped off the workers who make their profits, @mayor.nyc.gov stepped up to fight for what they’re owed. Democratic socialism means dignity for every worker. Our work is just getting started.

Get ready for City Convention! 🌹 This is where historic decisions are made. Whether you’ve been a member for a decade or just joined, we want to hear your voice. Proposals and resolutions are due by September 20th. Head to convention.socialists.nyc to learn more

This is a choice being made by a handful of Big Oil billionaires and the politicians they buy. We can choose differently. We have the technology. We need the political power. Join DSA so we can build it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Whether it’s fighting mass incarceration or building real democracy for working people, our demands are common sense — the broken status quo is what’s radical and dangerous. Our movement is growing because our vision is popular. We have a world to win: socialists.nyc/join

The Democratic establishment is still reeling from our victories last month. This Wednesday, July 29th at 7PM, come hear from chapter electoral leadership about how we won big again this cycle and where we go from here. RSVP: bit.ly/EWGdebrief

Smoke-filled skies, 100 degree heat, and extreme flooding. We know the climate crisis is already here. But a better world IS possible. And ecosocialists are organizing to win it. Join us tonight at 8pm to learn how we’re fighting back and how you can plug in. Link in bio 🔗

Heatwaves are political. Climate change is class war. It’s time to take back our power and build a livable New York. We have the solutions. We just need to organize. Join the next @nycdsaecosoc.bsky.social Ecosocialism 101 on July 10th to plug into the fight. We have a planet to win. 🌎⚡️

The 2027 City Budget is a milestone for socialist governance and a big step to building the city we deserve. Socialists in office are proving that we can reject austerity and invest in the working people who make NYC. And the work is just getting started.

NYC-DSA’s Trans Rights and Bodily Autonomy Working Group’s response to the two anti-trans Supreme Court decisions handed down today.

From City Council to Albany to Capitol Hill, our socialists in office are demanding justice & self-determination for Puerto Rico. @ocasio-cortez.house.gov is right: it’s time to end PROMESA’s corporate corruption.

The billionaire class says we can’t balance the budget without cutting services and raising costs. A socialist just proved them wrong. Investing in housing, mental health, parks, and libraries is what budgets are for & what working people deserve. That’s your city on socialism.

15,000 dues-paying members and counting 📈 Our movement winning, growing, and proving that everyday working people can change history. A better world is possible. We’re building it together. dsa.nyc/join 🌹

Just days after our candidates sweep their elections, we’re going to deliver a rent freeze for millions of New Yorkers! Nothing celebrates a win like another win. Join us tonight to freeze the rent for all rent-stabilized tenants for two years! dsa.nyc/freezetherent

SOCIALISM WINS UPTOWN! Darializa Avila Chevalier will be the first Afro-Latina to represent NY-13. We can’t wait to see how @darializaforny.bsky.social fights to abolish ICE, end the genocide in Gaza, and fight for working class people every day.

Adam Bojak wins as an unapologetic democratic socialist in upstate New York! For years pundits told us our vision for New York would never resonate outside of NYC and downstate… @bojak4assembly.bsky.social proves them ALL wrong. This is a movement for ALL working people, no matter your zip code 🌹

EAST NEW YORK is now repped by a socialist in Albany! Christian ran an ambitious campaign to give the east Brooklyn community leadership who actually listens to and serves the people. Proud to stand with @cct4nyc.bsky.social. 🌹

Central Brooklyn just got a new Socialist in Office! Congratulations to @eonforassembly.bsky.social, a tireless organizer, parent, and leader whose victory tonight comes after years of diligent movement building.

For years, Sam has worked behind the scenes to build our movement as an NYC-DSA organizer. Now, Queens has sent her to Albany to organize from inside the Capitol.

Socialism wins in the Lower East Side! We’re sending another ecosocialist and tenants’ champion to Albany to fight for the affordable, beautiful future that workers deserve. Illapa’s victory proves socialism still has a home downtown.

Ridgewood just sent labor and immigrant worker champion @david4queens.com to Albany 🌹🌹🌹

ABER WINS Palestine was on the ballot, and now a Palestinian-American democratic socialist is going to Albany. Aber is exactly who New Yorkers need fighting for them in the State Senate. Because socialists get it done. 🌹

Diana is going BACK to Albany! Proud to have @dianaforqueens.com back in office fighting for the affordable New York we deserve. 🌹

CLAIRE WINS @claireforny.bsky.social was there. Now our movement is sending her to DC. Socialists get it done, and socialism wins. 🌹

New York: there are democratic socialists on YOUR ballot who will fight like hell for you in Congress! 🌹 There are no shortcuts to a better future. It’s up to us to fight for it. And when we fight, we win. Polls are open until 9pm today. Let’s make history. dsa.nyc/vote

Six months ago they said this race was over before it even started. Now they’re spending millions to try to stop us because we’re winning. Tomorrow we have a chance to show working people can still beat organized money. Let’s make history. dsa.nyc/gotv

Tomorrow, democratic socialism is on the ballot. All across the City we have a chance to send new leaders to Albany and DC to tax the rich, block the bombs, and build an affordable New York for all. Find your poll site and candidates at dsa.nyc/vote 🌹
