Democratic socialists Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani are teaming up in Brooklyn for the “Fighting Oligarchy” event to combat corporate greed and wealth inequality. Mamdani expressed honor in welcoming Sanders as they address New York’s affordability crisis, a key issue for both. Mamdani’s surprising primary win has energized progressive supporters, and he emphasizes policies like rent freezes and higher taxes on the wealthy.
Sanders criticized former President Donald Trump for contributing to authoritarianism and wealth inequality, urging unity against oligarchy by rallying support for working-class candidates. Both leaders aim to mobilize grassroots efforts to challenge corporate power and advocate for comprehensive systemic changes. Sanders has been actively endorsing Mamdani and highlighting the importance of addressing income inequality, while Mamdani’s campaign reflects similar progressive values.
