Ocasio-Cortez Endorses Entire Slate of Democratic Socialists in NY
"As AOC knows," DSA For the Many tweeted, "when we fight together, we win together!"
May 26, 2022
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday endorsed all 13 candidates running for the New York state Legislature on a progressive slate backed by the nation's largest Democratic Socialists of America chapter.
DSA For the Many tweeted the Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) endorsement early Thursday morning, proclaiming that "as AOC knows--when we fight together, we win together!"
The development was first reported by Jacobin. The 13 endorsees include four incumbent state assemblymembers, two sitting state senator,s and seven insurgent candidates, including social worker Illapa Sairitupac (AD-65), tech worker Kristen Gonzalez (SD-59), cab driver David Alexis (SD-21), and climate activist Sarahana Shrestha (AD-103).
\u201cWe are honored (and stoked!) to have the support of @TeamAOC.\n\nAs @AOC knows - when we fight together, we win together \u270a\u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udf39\n\nJoin our fight - tap in today!\n\nhttps://t.co/uQvhUzIoFm\nhttps://t.co/MhDNSoDxUj\u201d— DSA For The Many (@DSA For The Many) 1653571751
"This is not about one candidate," Shrestha told Jacobin.
"One candidate is not going to be able to do anything alone," she added. "We have developed knowledge as part of a movement."
On January 20th, it begins...
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. Our Year-End campaign is our most important fundraiser of the year. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
