Bronx teacher and socialist candidate Andre Easton joins Ashley Bishop to discuss his campaign to unseat Pro-Israel Ritchie Torres in New York’s 15th District. Running with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Easton talks about what Zohran Mamdani’s historic mayoral win means for the Bronx and beyond, the growing appetite for socialism, and the fight for housing, fair wages, and dignity for working people.
“I want to be clear that my enemy is Zohran Mamdani’s enemy, right? And it’s the same billionaire class that, again, put $54 million dollars to try to destroy him. But it was the people organized that defeated that. They defeated not just Andrew Cuomo, but the entire establishment ruling-class apparatus. And that should be the takeaway that all of us bring with us. That when we are organized, when we are passionate about our clear vision, there is no force on earth that can beat the people when they are properly organized. And that’s what we’re offering the people of District 15.”
