"Mamdani spoke of his love for New York City and the change he hopes to bring if elected to the city's highest office rising rents and grocery costs, disproportionate police killings of Black New Yorkers, and higher maternal mortality rates for Black mothers than white mothers, Mamdani said, do not feel like love. Make no mistake, when we come to expect only apathy from the government that is intended to serve us, instead of change, that does not feel like love either, Mamdani said."
"Mamdani spoke of his plans to freeze the rent on rent-stabilized apartments, build more affordable housing, raise taxes on New York City's wealthiest residents, and deliver universal childcare. As Mamdani spoke to the congregants, his campaign team ran a massive canvassing operation dubbed Big Fall Canvass, looking to knock thousands of doors and drum up more support for the assemblymember."
Four main candidates — Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independents Andrew Cuomo and incumbent Eric Adams, and Republican Curtis Sliwa — compete in New York City's Nov. 4, 2025 mayoral election. Campaign stops on Sunday included church visits and a Brooklyn 5K race. Mamdani, leading most polls by a wide margin, spoke at Brooklyn's Bethany Baptist Church about love for the city and cited rising rents, grocery costs, disproportionate police killings of Black New Yorkers, and higher maternal mortality for Black mothers. He condemned federal cuts to healthcare and food benefits and outlined plans to freeze rent on rent-stabilized apartments, build affordable housing, raise taxes on the city's wealthiest, and deliver universal childcare. His campaign operated a large canvass called Big Fall Canvass to knock thousands of doors.
