Our Analysis: Organizing Works

Hi all,

On Wednesday, we woke up to Zohran Mamdani's America. Mamdani won the Democratic Primary for New York City's Mayor as a socialist aiming to freeze rents, make buses fast and free, and provide universal childcare. Months ago, no one thought Mamdani could do it, so how did he win? Through organizing — in its many forms.

Here, in the Bay, we organized a party and found ourselves featured on KQED's Forum. We also wrote a whole lot about the possibility and power of organizing.

This week, we've published:

• Joni Prince on the Bay’s Pro-Palestine encampments last spring and how we organize to win
• An interview with Jaz Brisack on how "every workplace is organizable"
• How public school union members in Oakland have come together to fight against ICE raids
• Oakland's Children's Hospital workers on the picket line in their own words

Our analysis: organizing works.

Cheers,
Bay Area Current
