Brad Lander for Congress in NY-10

By Endorsement, NY

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brad Lander for Congress in New York’s 10th Congressional District, a proven progressive leader with a track record of delivering for working people and standing up to corporate power.

As New York City Comptroller and previously a New York City Councilmember, Lander has led the charge on issues like workers’ rights, affordable housing, and holding corporations and public institutions accountable. His leadership has consistently centered transparency, fairness, and the needs of everyday people — not wealthy insiders.

Lander has led efforts to take on corporate greed, expand public investment, and build an economy that works for the many, not the few. From advocating for stronger labor protections to pushing for bold action on climate and housing, he has shown the kind of principled leadership our movement demands.

As Comptroller, Lander has used the power of the office to challenge corporate abuses and push for responsible investment strategies that prioritize workers, communities, and long-term sustainability. He has also been a strong advocate for ethical governance and transparency, helping ensure that public dollars are used to serve the public good.

Now, Lander is running for Congress to bring that same progressive, results-driven leadership to Washington. At a time when working families are struggling with rising costs and our democracy is under threat from corporate influence and right-wing extremism, we need leaders who will stand unapologetically with the people.

Brad Lander is that leader.

Our Revolution is proud to support his campaign and the grassroots movement behind it. Together, we can elect a champion for working families, strengthen the progressive caucus, and continue building the political revolution that puts people over profit.

People Power Wins! Zohran Mamdani Elected Mayor of New York City

By Endorsement, Homepage Slot 1, NY No Comments

Last night, the people of New York City made history.

In a stunning upset, Zohran Mamdani—a proud democratic socialist and champion for working people—won the race for Mayor of New York City, defeating Donald Trump’s chosen candidate, the Democratic establishment machine, and the billionaire donor class that tried to buy this election.

This victory is a testament to our grassroots power and a resounding rejection of corruption, oligarchy, and corporate power—and a clear mandate for a New York that works for the many, not the money. 

✊ A Movement Victory

“Our message to the establishment is clear,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution—the nation’s largest grassroots independent political organizing group founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Mamdani and his message about the crisis of affordability defeated Donald Trump, the Democratic establishment, and the donor classes of both parties.

They’ll leave out the hard truths: Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment are losing relevance, AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby have become toxic forces in Democratic politics, voters are fed up with the gerontocracy and political corruption, and a united grassroots movement built on a working-class agenda can—and will—beat the billionaire-backed status quo.”

Geevarghese added,

“Mamdani’s victory is a bellwether. Progressives are poised to defeat the establishment of both parties in 2026 and beyond with a populist message that raises the standard of living for working-class people and takes on the corporate class.”

🌹 Organizing Power on Display

In the lead-up to Election Day, Our Revolution carried out one of the largest independent progressive organizing efforts in New York City’s history—reaching more than half a million voters through door knocking, subway canvassing, community events, phone calls, texts, and emails.

From the Bronx to Queens, Brooklyn to Staten Island, Our Revolution members stood shoulder to shoulder with local activists, tenants, and union organizers to make sure working-class voices were heard—and votes were counted.

This grassroots mobilization proved once again that when we organize, we win.

🗽 A New Day for New York

Mamdani’s victory isn’t just a win for one campaign—it’s a triumph for our growing movement to confront corporate greed, take on oligarchy, push back against the far right, and win policy change for affordable housing, healthcare, childcare, and more!

The fight for economic justice and true democracy is far from over—but in this moment we celebrate a powerful step forward.

Our Revolution congratulates Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, his campaign team, and the thousands of volunteers who made this victory possible. Together, we’re showing the nation what people power looks like.

Join Our Revolution to build on this momentum and organize the next wave of victories for working people across the country.

ZOHRAN KWAME MAMDANI FOR NYC MAYOR

By Endorsement, NY

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Brad Lander in the race for New York City Mayor! Ranked choice voting means our movement is rallying behind BOTH of these champions who can defeat the Cuomo machine once and for all.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani served in the Assembly and has earned the backing of Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for his bold vision to make NYC a city for the many, not the few. He’s fighting for free public transit, rent relief, universal childcare, and city-owned grocery stores — all paid for by making the ultra-rich pay their fair share. As Zohran put it:

“Cuomo’s campaign is a house of cards. The two strongest progressive campaigns can topple it together, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
