There’s one week till Election Day, and Zohran’s opponents are pulling out every racist and Islamophobic trick in the book to try to defeat him. Billionaires are attempting to buy the mayoral election by spreading fearmongering propaganda. We can’t take anything for granted – everyone needs to get out to vote!
Check out this video about SURJ NYC’s work talking to white working-class voters in Southern Brooklyn, and then sign up to get out the vote with us this weekend and on Election Day!
Early voting has already started, and we encourage you to vote for Zohran on the Working Families Party ballot line (Row D). Voting on the WFP line sends a message to the Democratic Party establishment and provides leverage to push elected officials to govern boldly for working families. Find your early voting and Election Day poll sites here.
After we finish knocking doors on Election Day, we’re hosting an Election Night Watch Party! Come hang out and have some food while we watch the results roll in, and celebrate all our hard work and (hopefully) a win for us and for our city!
And then join us next Thursday to turn our attention to what comes next: getting organized to resist a possible federal invasion of NYC. On October 21st, we saw the first large-scale street operation by immigration officers in NYC. Groups across the city are preparing for an escalation in aggressive federal actions, which are even more likely if Zohran wins. Join our chapter meeting on Thursday November 6th from 6:30-8:30 pm to get organized to prevent ICE from abducting our neighbors.
Onward,
SURJ NYC
