John,
Maya Wiley is surging in the New York City Mayor's race.

DFA members have been supporting Maya with money, people, media, and direct strategic support since the beginning, but now it's time to take it up one more notch.

A true progressive, Maya will work to rebuild New York City out from the impact of the pandemic that devastated the local economy and the lives of so many working families.
Maya will implement her New Deal New York plan investing city dollars into communities and neighborhoods -- addressing the City’s critical infrastructure needs through investments that also put City residents back to work and stimulate the economy. Her New Deal New York plan will create up to 100,000 new jobs for New Yorkers.
Maya will fight for the most comprehensive and substantial police reforms ever proposed by a major candidate for NY Mayor. It is a sweeping move forward in policing, crime prevention, and police-community relationships. She knows that everyone has a right to be free from criminal violence, especially at the hands of the police.
Her Universal Community Care plan would rebuild economic growth in sectors dominated by people of color, especially women. It ensures these new jobs are good jobs, addresses the crisis of affordable childcare and eldercare, and fights for fair wages and protections for workers throughout the care economy.
That's just a few highlights of what Maya's fighting for and what's at stake for the future of New York. Now we have to Get Out The Vote. Please contribute what you can immediately to fuel DFA and Maya's campaign to win.

Earlier this year, DFA members elected the first Black woman Mayor of St. Louis in Missouri breaking through a critical barrier and bringing a desperately needed new perspective to city leadership.
Now, we're one month away from doing it again, this time in one of the biggest cities in America. Let's get it done.
Thank you for everything you're doing to elect the first woman to be Mayor of New York City.
