Yesterday, we won.

We ended last night with a 58% majority, winning by more than 26 percentage points.

Neighborhoods across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens resoundingly elected a 27-year-old socialist Latina to office.

Thanks to you, our movement beat more than a million dollars in money meant to stop us.

Our collective victory showed that our power as democratic socialists isn't just safe, it's growing.

And we want to thank each and every one of you for making this victory possible, whether you joined us on Election Day or have been with us since March.

✅ 700+ volunteers
✅ 2,400+ individual donations
✅ 50+ progressive unions, orgs, and local electeds

Importantly, we didn't just stop real estate money in @DemSocialists strongholds like Astoria and Greenpoint.

We multiplied our strength to show once and for all that socialism is here to stay.

And we expanded our movement across New York, from Manhattan to the Hudson Valley.

In Brooklyn, we won by a shocking 65 percentage points, winning four to one.

In Queens, we won by an incredible 40 percentage points, winning two to one.

In Manhattan — the plurality of the vote — we won neighborhoods like StuyTown against the odds and elected our first-ever @nycDSA candidate to the borough.

This would not have been possible without the many incredible volunteers from Team @illapaNYC, and we're very proud that.

At the same time in Flatbush, @David4BK's team weakened a powerful, long-seated incumbent with one of the largest and most robust campaigns @nycDSA has built to date, knocking on more than 130,00 doors and raising more than $300,000.

That work not only grew our power long-term, but saw real and direct consequences for working people. Because of @David4BK's electoral threat, #BuildPublicRenewables passed the state Senate in last June.

And we'll be back to make it law next year.

Altogether, thousands of volunteers powered and grew our movement this year despite an unprecedented flood of real estate money meant to stop us.

We did this work together because we believe that a better future isn't just possible, but already underway. Last night showed that.

Thank you for building this with us. Our work continues, and we'll keep organizing until working people have power over our own futures.

We'll pass bills like #GoodCause and #BuildPublicRenewables. Not someday, but next year.

And socialism will win, because #WeMakeNewYork.🌹
