Daniel Atonna

Congrats @dianaforqueens.com on being elected to the Assembly! Shoutout @socialists.nyc, NY WFP, and her brilliant Campaign Manager @aaronnarraph.bsky.social. Diana will join the 8 Socialists in Office in Albany fighting to tax the rich, protect tenants and immigrants, and pass universal childcare 🔥

Last month, I was sworn in as Councilmember for City of Poughkeepsie Ward 8. As a democratic socialist, I believe that government should do more to help working class people. I’ll catch your loose dog, dig your trash can out of snow, and join you in the streets to protest ICE! 🌹

Over 700 people showed up in Chester, NY to protest a proposed ICE detention center. We want money for housing, healthcare, and education, not deportation. Abolish ICE!

I joined Dutchess County Legislators Anna Shah, Craig Brendli, and Emma Arnoff, City of Poughkeepsie Eighth Ward Councilmember Daniel Atonna and Activists Matt and Darrett in front of Winslow Gate in Poughkeepsie on Sunday during the Silent Protest against the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good.

My first monthly ward meeting will be Saturday, 1/31 at 10 AM on Zoom.

This past Monday, the people of the Hudson Valley were clear: No ICE here, no ICE anywhere!Join us in making sure our elected officials know now is not the time for half-measures and timid rebukes. Send a letter to your reps today ➡️ mhvdsa.org/stop-ice

I rallied with @mhvdsa.bsky.social at Stewart Airport, where the kidnapped President of Venezuela was flown. Trump is trying to steal oil for his billionaire donors and distract people from the Epstein Files. A majority of Americans oppose this illegal war. We want housing and healthcare, not bombs!

The image shows a group of protestors standing on a snow-covered sidewalk. The central figure, wearing a black jacket and red beanie, speaks into a blue and white megaphone. Around them, several protestors hold signs with messages written in large letters. The group is dressed in winter clothing, including jackets, beanies, and gloves. The sky is overcast, and trees are visible in the background. The scene conveys the atmosphere of a peaceful protest.

The image shows a group of six people standing outside in a snowy setting. They are dressed warmly, wearing coats, hats, and scarves. Three of them are holding protest signs. The person on the far left holds a white sign reading, "NO WAR on Venezuela," while the individual next to them holds another white sign stating, "NO ILLEGAL WAR." On the right, a person holds a red sign with the text "NO MORE BOMBS." The background consists of barren trees and a cloudy sky. The group appears to be participating in a peaceful demonstration.

A group of people is gathered at night on a snow-covered ground, holding various protest signs. In the background, a lit sign for the "New York Air National Guard Stewart ANG Base" is visible. The individuals, dressed warmly in jackets and hats, stand closely together. Some signs include messages like "KIDNAPPED PRESIDENT INSIDE," "NO MORE BOMBS," "NO WAR US OUT OF VENEZUELA," "NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR," and "STAY OUT OF VENEZUELA." The headlights of a vehicle are visible in the distance.

A US Military plane brought President Maduro to Stewart Airport today, while our members held the line outside to make it clear: this war will hurt working people across the globe.

NYC-DSA is proud to announce its third round of state endorsements with three young, passionate, and motivated democratic socialists who are prepared to fight for working New Yorkers every day in Albany.

I was proud to spend four mornings picketing with @sbworkersunited.org in Kingston 🪧 Brave baristas across the country are striking for a fair contract. The company makes over $30 billion a year from their labor. Don’t shop at any Starbucks! Sign the pledge: nocontractnocoffee.org

Public ownership of our energy utility, Central Hudson, is not an end, it’s the means—to keep rates low, empower workers, and get us a 21st century grid. A new study estimates it would also save us money immediately!

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.
