NYC Canvass for Zohran!

to
Brooklyn, NY
Reclaim RI is traveling to NYC to knock doors for Zohran Mamdani's historic mayoral campaign. We will be meeting up on Saturday, October 18 at noon in Brooklyn (exact location TBD) and canvassing, followed by a social event with Reclaim members and volunteers from the campaign and NYC DSA. No previous canvassing experience is needed - training will be provided! We encourage the use of public transit to get to New York as well as carpooling. Let us know if you need a ride or have an extra seat in your car! If you are interested in spending Saturday night in New York and need a couch to crash on, let us know as well. We can't wait to learn from Zohran's campaign and bring this knowledge back to Rhode Island for the 2026 electoral season!

How We Win

We believe that winning the future of homes for all requires a mass movement of organized tenants taking on and winning big fights with their exploitative corporate landlords. That's why our main work is building the Rhode Island Tenants Union. Winning that future also requires strategic political work, and we run legislative and sometimes electoral campaigns.

In order to win our vision, we:

  • Elect champions for the people and pressure elected officials,

  • Organize neighbors working at the local level to build power across the state,

  • Mobilize people who have never thought of themselves as political organizers and empower ourselves with the knowledge, skills, and relationships to win change,

  • Enact a culture of strengthening solidarity across difference, developing new leaders, and building community power.
