Hi Friend, this is Olivia.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being in this movement with us, especially this year.
In 2025, we’ve seen what MAGA extremists and corporate Democrats’ so-called “solutions” look like up close — disappeared neighbors, higher bills, and polluted communities.
We’ve also seen how powerful our movement is when we fight back together:
-
We organized hard and elected Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor with a mandate to make the city affordable for all.
- We pushed NYC Comptroller Brad Lander to call for pulling out $42 billion in city pension funds from dirty money manager BlackRock, the city’s largest money manager.
- We organized multilingual Know-Your-Rights trainings for our immigrant members, grew our base and built a new Peekskill chapter, and took care of our members facing food instability during the government shutdown.
None of this would be possible without supporters like you — and this Giving Tuesday, I’m asking you to take the next step in our movement by making your first donation to NYCC.
If you’re able, can you make your first donation to NYCC this Giving Tuesday by chipping in $10 or more? Every dollar helps jumpstart our 2026 organizing work and prepare us for the fight ahead.
This year is living proof that we can shift what’s politically possible when we organize, but our work is far from done.
We need to lay the groundwork now to actually enact Zohran’s affordability agenda in 2026 and expand our movement across the state. Getting the resources we need to win means lower costs, cleaner air, and safer neighborhoods for every New Yorker.
Please consider making your first contribution of $10, $15, or whatever you can this Giving Tuesday.
Action is the antidote to despair, Friend, and we are so grateful for every action you’ve taken with us this year.
Thank you again,
Olivia Leirer
Executive Director
New York Communities for Change
