Goal: Protect New York City's autonomy and democratic process by opposing any federal intervention or militarized presence in the city following the mayoral election.
New York City residents have the right to choose their own leaders and determine the future of their city without interference from the federal government. Reports and speculation suggest that, following Zohran Mamdani's expected victory in the mayoral race, there may be plans to deploy federal law enforcement and military personnel to the city. Such actions would undermine democracy, violate civil liberties, and set a dangerous precedent for federal overreach in local affairs.
We call on all elected officials and agencies to respect the outcome of New York City's democratic process and to refrain from any actions that would threaten the city's autonomy or the safety of its residents. The use of federal force against a city government, its elected officials, or its people is unacceptable and must be opposed by all who believe in democracy and self-governance.
