Daniel Atonna

I’m in a group photo outside at a Starbucks Workers United picket line in Brooklyn. Also in the photo is NYC-DSA endorsed Assembly candidate Christian Celeste Tate and seven NYC-YDSA members.

I’m in a group photo with NYC-DSA Assembly candidate Eon Huntley and another Mid-Hudson Valley DSA member. We’re inside a bar in Brooklyn at a fundraiser for Huntley.

I’m in a group photo with NYC-DSA Councilmember Alexa Avilés. We’re outside in Brooklyn at a Starbucks Workers United picket line.

I’m in a group photo with fourteen NYC-DSA members at a chapter social inside a cafe in Brooklyn.

Last week, I visited @socialists.nyc. I joined members at a @sbworkersunited.org picket line, talked to their candidates and incumbents, observed an endorsement forum, and attended a social. The chapter that elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani isn’t slowing down! Join DSA: act.dsausa.org/s/3869.URaPuG

My name is Diana Moreno. I’m a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer, and a proud democratic socialist with @socialists.nyc.

I’m running to replace @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social in the Assembly in the upcoming special election to deliver on his affordability agenda and fight the rising tide of fascism.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Poughkeepsie Ward 8 residents can text, call or email me anytime about anything. As your Councilmember, I'll always listen and do my best to represent you. My contact info is on my mailers, flyers and website danielforpk.com. Follow this page for updates on ward meetings.

I'm a union member, community organizer, and democratic socialist who has dedicated my life to the working class. The campaign is over, but the movement continues. Join @demsocialists.bsky.social, For the Many, @nywfp.bsky.social, or CVH. Unionize your workplace. Start a tenants' union. Organize!

The City of Poughkeepsie Republican Committee sent a lying negative mailer against me. I ran a positive campaign focused on the real issues. People want politicians who will fight for them, not billionaires and big corporations. That's why Republicans lost across Dutchess County!

I'll be an organizer in office, working with you to win change. Together we'll repave roads, replace lead pipes, restore rent stabilization, slow speeding cars, plant trees, invest in public parks, protect our immigrant neighbors, make buses fare-free, and resist Trump's attacks.

Grateful to the voters and supporters who made this victory possible. 120+ volunteers knocked 6,000+ doors. 250+ donors contributed $20,000+ (no corporations or developers). To the people of city of PK Ward 8, I'll always fight for you and put Poughkeepsie Over Profit 🌹

The Dutchess County legislature has been controlled by Republicans for 46 of the last 48 years. But progressives made the difference in flipping control for the first time in 18 years.

PS—With Daniel, the Poughkeepsie Common Council will have a socialist!

ICE arrests Afghan refugee living in New Paltz after asylum hearing Ali Faqirzada, who resettled with his family in Ulster County in 2022, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Tuesday.

Another neighbor has been ripped from his family. The Trump administration's hate-fueled deportation campaign is an attack on all of us, which means it's on all of us to fight back. Email us at organize@mhvdsa.org to join the fight.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Beware the Centrist Dweebs Trying to Ape Zohran Mamdani All over the country, young Democratic candidates are running seemingly Mamdani-style campaigns. But check the fine print.

For @thenation.com, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful.

I’m taking a group photo inside Poughkeepsie Town Hall with a staffer from Food & Water Watch. We are holding signs demanding that the Public Service Commission reject Central Hudson’s proposed rate increase. We demand lower utility bills!

I’m in a large group photo with dozens of people outside in Kingston demanding a public takeover of Central Hudson. Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha, who introduced the Hudson Valley Power Authority Act, is in the front row.

I’m taking a group photo with five other Mid-Hudson Valley DSA members and a fellow For the Many staffer outside Poughkeepsie Town Hall. We are holding flyers about the Hudson Valley Power Authority. We were flyering the crowd at the Public Service Commission’s public hearing about Central Hudson’s proposed rate increase. We are working to build support for a public takeover.

Central Hudson is raising our energy bills for 3 years to fund millions in executive bonuses 🤬 Pressure from @mhvdsa.bsky.social and For the Many won a lower rate increase, but I join them to demand a public takeover!

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.

I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

I’m on the Beacon waterfront at a rally to save the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry. I’m holding a sign that says “Fund The Ferry” and standing in front of a large cardboard ferry that community members have signed.

I’m marching and chanting with 1199SEIU workers outside The Grand in Poughkeepsie. I’m holding two inflatable tubes with the union logo on them.

I’m in a group photo with about fifty people at a Good Trouble Lives On protest co-hosted by For the Many and Mid-Hudson Valley DSA. Many of us are holding signs about democracy and stopping fascism. We are outside For the Many’s Poughkeepsie office.

I’m in a group photo with over twenty Ulster-Dutchess WFP members, electeds, and allies at a chapter gathering. We’re inside a bar in New Paltz.

This month I joined a rally to save the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry, marched with 1199SEIU healthcare workers demanding a fair contract at The Grand in Poughkeepsie, spoke at a Good Trouble protest co-hosted by For the Many and @mhvdsa.bsky.social, and attended an Ulster-Dutchess WFP gathering 🏃

ICYMI: Our socialist-in-office was featured in @cityandstateny.bsky.social last week! Our chapter has never let its small size come in the way of big goals. Sarahana was a MHVDSA leader before she was a candidate, and there's so much more left to win. Read the article (& join DSA!) ➡️ bit.ly/3UnUbOJ
