It's 💸Tax Day 2026💸—and the Trump admin is doling out a trillion dollar military budget & trillions in tax breaks for the rich, while slashing public goods for millions of Americans.🤑 We know that Workers Deserve More!🌹 Join our call on what our dollars could fund instead!👁️

Hochul is starting to make concessions on taxing the rich, and NYT is coming to @nycDSA cochair @unionGustavo for comment. DSA is on the front lines of the fight to give New Yorkers the resources we deserve, and Groundworkers like Gustavo are ensuring we stay there until we win.
Ben Oreskes@boreskes

DSA-NY Co-Chairs @unionGustavo + Grace Mauser both say that this proposal from Hochul speaks to the power of their movement and how they're effecting change in Albany.

Real chapter democracy rests on voting accessibility for every key decision and every leader in the organization. Every member should get a say, no exceptions.

@AOC wins @nycDSA's member vote with an 85% supermajority. This is a decisive win for the chapter's mass politics orientation

NYC-DSA + @TeamAOC = 💪 
NYC-DSA is proud to re-endorse Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to continue leading our fight against fascism.
 It’s socialism or barbarism, and we’ve got our champion in NY-14. 
 Help us send her back to DC — with reinforcements: secure.actblue.com/donate/slate-2…

The impulse to reject our electeds at the first sign of strategic disagreement is one @nycDSA's leadership has always refused – it leaves the left AND electeds weaker and more disorganized. Committing to joint organizing, by DSA & electeds like @AOC alike, is the answer.

I think it's important to understand the *KIND* of pressure that worked here. This is the result of organizing on our part of our NYC-DSA FSIO, who sought engagement with her instead of only "accountability". Important to do both!
Kate Willett@katewillett

AOC has met our demands. The left of DSA, against a great deal of opposition from the right, has successfully extracted a commitment to support a FULL arms embargo. Pressure works!

One of NYC-DSA's best forums. AOC's thoughtfulness & leadership + the strength of the SIO project—collaboration, joint strategy, and relentless focus on building power—was on display for 2 hours. Political movements must build and grow *with* elected officials.

BREAKING: At tonight’s NYC-DSA electoral forum, @AOC committed to voting against “any spending on arms for Israel, including so-called defensive capabilities.”

this is a massive vindication of NYC-DSA's model and an enormously positive sign for the future of the country, the national mood about an arms embargo on Israel, and the maturation of the post Bernie socialist movement.

First sentence of second paragraph is supposed to say "Our fight for a free Palestine is AOC's fight too". We apologize for the typo- nature of a quickly developing situation!

AOC's assurance tonight is the result of the years of collaboration between NYC DSA leaders, members, and electeds, who all helped elect a democratic socialist mayor and built an FSIO. We have shown what it means for a movement to grow into maturity with electeds, together.

The Groundwork caucus thanks Rep. Ocasio-Cortez for her commitment to opposing all military aid to Israel, including "defensive aid" like the Iron Dome. Stopping the genocide of Palestinians and the hawkish Israeli state is an imperative goal of the socialist movement.

Bowman also changed his position after being appalled by what he saw during his trip to Israel, and years of conversations w/ comrades continuing to work with him. Just because we don't emphasize condemnations and statements doesn't mean NYC-DSA does not care about discipline.

DSA leaders worked hard to back Jamaal Bowman & Cori Bush to stand with Palestine against the weight of the Israel lobby—& faced the most expensive congressional races in history. We’re stronger now, ready to go even harder to back our own to the highest levels of power—and WIN.

I want to express my deepest solidarity with AOC for taking the morally principled stance, listening to her constituents & her base, and committing to vote against all military funding for Israel. NYC-DSA & @AOC have built a relationship of mutuality & solidarity. Not easy!
