NYC-DSA Builds Volunteer Model To Govern
NYC-DSA led the volunteer-driven campaign that helped elect Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City, a victory highlighted at a Sept. 6 Brooklyn event with Bernie Sanders. The group credits distributed leadership, training hundreds of unpaid field leaders, and its co-governance Socialists in Office committees formed in 2020-21 for enabling policy wins like the 2021 wealth tax and the 2023 Build Public Renewables Act. The model aims to translate electoral wins into sustained governing power.
