John,

The Mayor of New York City represents more people than many U.S. Senators. And, with Zohran Mamdani polling neck and neck with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo—who is backed by billionaire Trump donors and is on the legal team defending Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza—our values are on the ballot in NYC.

Zohran is running to lower the cost of living for working class people. But in the final week of this critical race, Cuomo is outspending Zohran 10-to-1.

Zohran is AIPAC’s worst nightmare. In November 2023, he led a hunger strike in front of the White House, demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. And, as a New York State Assemblymember, Zohran introduced first-in-the-nation legislation to stop NY charities from funding Israeli war crimes. He’s not afraid to speak out for human rights for all people, regardless of background.

If you can, split a donation today between Zohran Mamdani’s official support PAC (New Yorkers for Lower Costs) and my re-election campaign to power our movement for justice and equality.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately, split evenly between New Yorkers for Lower Costs and Rashida Tlaib.

Together, let’s show that grassroots power can defeat billionaire-funded super PACs.

Thank you,

John,

In November 2023, I first wrote to you about my friend and colleague, New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, when I joined him at a hunger strike in front of the White House to oppose the genocide in Palestine.

Now, Zohran is running to be the next Mayor of New York City—and he’s polling within single digits of former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, who’s on the legal team defending Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu from war crimes.

The Democratic primary election is just one week away and early voting is underway now.

Can you rush a donation to support Zohran Mamdani’s visionary campaign as well as mine?

With their primary just one week away, one recent poll even shows Zohran with a narrow lead:

As a State Assemblymember, Zohran has fought for the working class and introduced first-in-the-nation legislation to stop NY charities from funding Israeli war crimes.

His bold vision for NYC mayor includes universal free childcare, fast and free buses, freezing rent for more than two million rent-stabilized tenants, and starting nonprofit city-owned grocery stores that sell affordable groceries. Since the mayor of NYC represents more people than most senators, he would set precedents nationwide.

His main opponent is Andrew Cuomo, who has MILLIONS pouring in from his billionaire-backed super PAC and Zohran’s getting drowned out on the airwaves.

With early voting underway and just one week until Election Day, Zohran Mamdani’s official support PAC, New Yorkers for Lower Costs, needs our help now.

Will you split a donation today between New Yorkers for Lower Costs and my re-election campaign to help elect Zohran as the next mayor of NYC and power our movement for working people and Palestinian liberation?

As Zohran wrote: “Our momentum reflects the hunger across this city for politics that puts working people first.”

He’s been endorsed by the United Auto Workers Region 9 who said: “Zohran Mamdani is a movement builder. He lives UAW values in the fight for economic and social justice, both here in NYC and around the globe.”

We especially need pro-worker leaders like Zohran in the midst of a presidential administration that puts the power of billionaires over workers.

With just one week left in his primary, will you rush a donation today to help elect Zohran Mamdani as the next Mayor of New York City?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately, split evenly between New Yorkers for Lower Costs and Rashida Tlaib.

Thank you for your urgent support.

In solidarity,

Rashida
