The Sunrise Movement has formally endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race, marking their first ever mayoral endorsement. Mamdani is recognized for his commitment to addressing the climate emergency and making the city affordable for working-class residents. His campaign includes a plan for renewable energy upgrades in schools and emphasizes that climate issues directly relate to quality of life. The support from the national Sunrise Movement follows an earlier endorsement from the NYC chapter, highlighting Mamdani's leadership against the fossil fuel industry.
"Zohran embodies the kind of bold, people-powered leadership that Sunrise was built to fight for," said Aru Shiney-Ajay, executive director of the Sunrise Movement.
Mamdani told The Nation that "climate and quality of life are not two separate concerns. They are, in fact, one and the same."
