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."
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
