When Andrew Cuomo called me to concede the election at 10:15 PM on the
night of the primary, he said that "we had created a tremendous force."
He was right. When you insist on building a coalition with room for every
New Yorker, that is exactly what you create – a tremendous force.
But as this race has entered its final days, we have witnessed displays of
Islamophobia that shock the conscience.
But while these disgraced politicians – and their Trump-supporting,
billionaire donors – think they have the money to buy this election, we
have a movement of the masses.
We can make City Hall a place where New Yorkers come to expect the future,
not just failure. But we are not there yet.
Just as Andrew Cuomo’s victory in the primary was thought to be
inevitable, the same narrative has started to form around us today. When
you read the articles that tell a story of triumph while we are still
amidst early voting, know this:
You are reading the same things that Andrew Cuomo read each night when he
went to sleep in June, believing that his victory was promised.
We do not want to feel what Cuomo felt on primary night. So we have set a
new goal:
[ [link removed] ]Join us to call 1.5 million New Yorkers before Election Day, and let
them know that they have the right to afford their lives – and they can
win it on November 4th. Will you join us to phone bank this weekend?
This vote is for NYC’s next mayor, but more than that, we will make a very
simple choice: a choice between the hope of a brighter future, and a
broken past.
Thank you for joining us in this fight.
In solidarity,
– Zohran
