The presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor, who has struggled to make inroads with the Black community, spoke at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network on Saturday.
“When you feel hurt, I will seek to heal you,” Zohran Mamdani said Saturday, with Spike Lee and the Rev. Al Sharpton behind him. “When you feel misunderstood, I will seek to understand you.”
The Democratic mayoral hopeful promises free child care, a $30 minimum wage and a massive tax hike on the city’s corporations. But much is not within a mayor’s control.
