Recently, there's been some discussion about our chapter's endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in February. For clarity, AOC remains endorsed by NYC-DSA. Our chapter withdrew its request for national endorsement after the primary passed and the National Political Committee (NPC) honored this request. For context, please see NYC-DSA Steering Committee's statement about the endorsement process, posted past week on the national members-only forum, and the public message that NPC posted yesterday about the status of a national endorsement.

Claims to the contrary are wrong. AOC has spent her career taking brave stances against the corporate establishment and the far right, despite the risks. More than nearly any other politician, she has used her material power to advance working-class liberation and the cause of democratic socialism. We haven’t agreed on every vote—but inside DSA, we don’t always agree with each other either. We still stand together. That’s why, when weighing in on re-endorsement, over 80% of NYC-DSA members and over 70% of national members were supportive.
