The primaries are over. The movement isn’t. Here’s what happened — and where to plug in year-round.
Campaigns come and go. These are the groups that stay — packing bread, organizing tenants, building power block by block.
Part of the largest socialist chapter in the country. Queens DSA is the branch behind AOC, Tiffany Cabán, Zohran Mamdani, and every campaign in this podcast. Monthly meetings, canvasses, and working groups.

One of NYC’s most vibrant open street programs — live music, community cookouts, neighborhood markets, and the beating heart of the People’s Republic. Entirely volunteer-driven.
Renters organizing renters. ATU helps tenants form associations, fight unsafe conditions, and resist displacement — building by building, block by block.
A free barbecue pop-up that started on a balcony during the pandemic. They’ve raised more than $100K for Astoria organizations through community cookouts. Free food, live music, neighbors in the street.
Every DSA-endorsed candidate on this page won their primary. All of them came from the same grassroots movement that elected AOC and Zohran. The general election is in November.

Tenant organizer and working parent. Won the three-way primary to succeed Claire Valdez in AD-37.
Workers’ rights attorney. Defeated incumbent Jenifer Rajkumar by 18 points — one of the night’s biggest upsets.

Former NYC Comptroller. Defeated incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman with 66% of the vote. Endorsed by Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. The race was called ten minutes after polls closed.
