            Ndrew a massive crowd of
            more than 13,000 supporters at a rally
            in Forest Hills, Queens last Sunday
            night, joined by U.S. Representative
            Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sena-

            leaders from several Gurdwaras and
            organizations were prominently seat-
            ed behind the speakers, underscoring
            the  diverse  coalition  backing  Mam-
            dani’s campaign.
                Mamdani addressed the loud
            crowd in a stadium in Queens, urging
            them that his candidacy was “a move-
            ment of the masses.” He pledged
            policies including a freeze on rent
            increases for New York’s roughly one
            million rent-regulated apartments,
            the hiring of thousands of new teach-
            ers, renegotiation of city contracts,
            expanded affordable housing, and
            universal child care.
