Last week SURJ NYC announced our endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for Mayor and DREAM for NYC (Don’t Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor)! We encourage New Yorkers to:
Rank Zohran #1 on your ranked-choice ballot for Mayor
Rank four more candidates
NOT rank Andrew Cuomo at all
This week we’re sharing more ways to get involved in these campaigns!
Zohran Mamdani:
Join SURJ NYC members to canvass for Zohran:
Kensington: Thursday, May 22nd, 5:30-8:30pm
Inwood: Saturday, May 24th, 12-3pm
Upper West Side: Sunday, May 25th, 12-3pm
Inwood: Saturday, May 31st, 12-3pm
Canvassing is the most impactful way to reach voters and is a lot of fun! Peggy says, “I had a great time canvassing on Saturday! Great weather, great company, great conversations, especially helping people understand ranked choice voting.”
You can also join SURJ NYC members at the Working Families Party #RankTheSlate rally and canvass on Saturday, May 24th at 11:15am in Fort Greene Park! We’ll hear from WFP’s slate — Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, Zellnor Myrie, and Zohran Mamdani — and then head out to knock doors across Brooklyn.
Can’t make any of these dates? Sign up to get updates on future opportunities or to host a SURJ NYC meet-up at a canvass.
DREAM for NYC:
Ready to make sure that Cuomo is not the Democratic nominee? Sign up to volunteer with the DREAM campaign! You’ll get connected with a project or get an invite to a WhatsApp Community where you can pick from available opportunities.
Download stickers, fliers, and social media images you can use to tell your community not to vote for Cuomo. You can also buy stickers and other merch that help fund videos and other ways of getting the word out. And you can help by sharing on social media!
Onward,
SURJ NYC
