Zohran Mamdani’s landslide victory in the Democratic primary took the political establishment by surprise. Now Cuomo, Adams, and their billionaire backers are scrambling to put up a fight. Zohran’s plan for a more affordable NYC has generated incredible energy across the city, but this election is not a done deal. Zohran has what it takes to win, but we have to put in the work.
Join us on Saturday September 6th at 11am in Tompkins Square Park to kick off our fall canvasses for Zohran! We’ll have some snacks, get to know each other, talk about our strategy to elect Zohran, and then head out to canvass together. Whether you’ve never canvassed before or are a seasoned expert, we need you!
Q: Why should I canvass with SURJ NYC?
A: Do you want to make new friends, canvass with a supportive community, and level up your skills? So do we! We’ll meet together as a group before each canvass and have lots of opportunities throughout the fall to debrief and learn from each other. We will be canvassing in areas where we can talk to white voters about their shared interest in Zohran’s agenda.
Q: I can’t make it on the 6th, how can I join this cool canvassing team?
A: Keep an eye on this newsletter in the coming weeks for a schedule of canvasses!
Q: How can my friends outside of NYC get involved?
A: SURJ National has selected Zohran’s campaign for their national phonebank program! This program has shown great results through its model of open-ended conversations, and is a super fun and supportive environment. But if you’re in NYC and able to join us to canvass, we encourage you to prioritize that – face-to-face conversations are the most impactful!
Ready to go? Join us on Saturday September 6th at 11am in Tompkins Square Park!
Onward,
SURJ NYC
