The people of New York City need a people’s response to the COVID-19 crisis. On today’s episode, we’ll talk about NYC-DSA’s organizing for The People’s Bailout, a set of demands that center the needs of working class people at the epicenter of the crisis in the United States. We’ll hear from several of our DSA-endorsed electoral candidates, who held a digital town hall last Saturday to address this crisis, as well as from Daniel Goulden of the NYC-DSA Ecosocialist Working Group. We also have an in-depth interview by Jack Devine of DSA-endorsed candidate Zohran Mamdani on how his campaign for Assembly District 36 has adapted to the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to organize toward mutual aid and relief for the workers of his district. To learn more about Zohran Mamdani’s platform and his campaign for Assembly District 36, please visit zohranforassembly.org.
