The socialist agenda of our comrade Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City.

Comrade Zohran – whom we have supported and continue to support through the Progressive International – ran for the nomination with the goal of making life in the city sustainable for workers.

His policy proposals, which prevailed at the ballot box among Democratic voters, address the fundamental problems that affect working people everywhere:

• Housing, proposing the creation of 200,000 new social housing units in ten years, renovation of existing ones, rent freeze, restriction of short-term leases, etc.
• Free transportation in the city.
• Free provision of infant, toddler, and childcare for working parents.
• The creation of municipal grocery stores that will sell at cost, breaking the cycle of profiteering.

The problems faced by workers are common everywhere, whether we are talking about New York or Athens.

As MeRA25, we congratulate and support Zohran Mamdani for the New York City Council, as we are fighting the same battle: for the many!
