NYC Election Results are a Mandate for Green Schools, Universal Childcare, and a $30 Minimum Wage
NEW YORK, NY – In response to the results of the 2025 NYC general election, Theodore A. Moore, ALIGN Executive Director, released the following statement:
“The people have spoken: Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. These results are more than a message — they’re a mandate for our next mayor to deliver green schools, universal childcare, and a $30 minimum wage, and to confront the cost of living and climate crises crushing working class communities of color and forcing families out of the city they call home. As New Yorkers invest in a new vision, we look forward to working with the mayor elect to win the green, affordable city we deserve.”
