Come out to show your support for taxi medallion debt relief! New York's taxi drivers are suffering in hyper-exploitative debtor relationships, due to our City government’s scheme to profit off of its working class.
Thank you for to all our members who have been joining us at City Hall to demand debt relief for New York City’s taxi drivers over the last month! Every day our fight grows stronger as we apply pressure on Mayor De Blasio for a plan that offers real relief — not just a bailout for banks. From taxing the rich to winning medallion debt relief, there’s a common thread: putting people over profits.
The campaign has made huge strides over the past few weeks. We've been joined by elected officials, we've written articles and spoken on podcasts. But, most importantly, NYC's socialists - tenant organizers, labor unions and the DSA - have showed up in a huge display of solidarity. We're building the foundation for a new wave of grassroots radicalism in the City, but we can't stop at that - we need to win! ?
This October 20, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani and our DSA comrade Jaslin Kaur will start a hunger strike alongside TWA drivers, to place pressure on the city to do right by the drivers for the final stretch of the campaign.
To show your support for drivers, come out to the campout on Broadway & Murray Street at 6.30pm Wednesday night.
The campout will be continuing after the rally, so if you can please do keep dropping by City Hall Park on Broadway & Murray Street until we win!
