John,

Next year, New Yorkers have an opportunity to elect a new leader for their city who is fearlessly progressive, unbought, and unbossed.

Maya Wiley is that leader, and DFA is proud to support her to be the next Mayor of New York City.

She’s a leader in the fight for racial justice and equity who has spent years on the frontlines of some of our biggest fights, both inside City Hall and outside it. She knows that building New York City back from this pandemic will require outside-the-box thinking, taking on the status quo, and challenging systemic inequities head-on.

Maya is building a true people-powered campaign, which means she’s counting on support from grassroots progressives to take on the big corporate interests and win.

Will you make a contribution to Maya’s campaign and DFA today to help elect a new progressive leader for New York City?

Maya is a lifelong civil rights activist and lawyer. And she has the experience New York needs to build back from this pandemic.

As Counsel to the Mayor in City Hall, Maya delivered for New Yorkers on some of the biggest issues facing the city, from defending civil rights and boosting minority and women-owned businesses to expanding broadband access to New Yorkers throughout the city.

After her time in City Hall, Maya chaired the Civilian Complaint Review Board, where she worked to hold police accountable to the people of New York.

She’s exactly the kind of leader New York City needs. But this is going to be an uphill fight. Many of Maya’s opponents are backed by some of America’s biggest corporate interests and Wall Street banks. She’s counting on overwhelming grassroots support to win.

Pitch in whatever you can here to help Maya build a winning campaign from the ground-up and deliver real change for the people of New York City:
