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."
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
