"Influencer Matt Bernstein shared a clip - viewed more than 10 million times - of Mamdani giving a speech from a DJ booth at Papi Juice, an art collective that affirms and celebrates the lives of queer and trans people of colour. "So, it's 1am and Zohran just showed up at a gay bar", Bernstein wrote. Mamdani can be heard saying: "Are we ready to win a city we can afford? Are we ready to make history? Let's go out there and do it. Thank you, my friends." The short speech was met with loud cheers and applause from fellow partygoers."
"Asked what people can do to help him win by getting others out to vote, Mamdani answered: "Go to zohranfornyc.com/gotv, sign up for a shift near you." If elected, Mamdani would be the first Muslim and Indian American to lead the largest city in the US. In a campaign video, Mamdani, who has never been shy about his support for the queer community, pledged to make the Big Apple a sanctuary city for LGBTQ+ people and to pour millions of dollars into services for the community, including housing programmes and to fund gender-affirming care."
Zohran Mamdani made nighttime visits to multiple LGBTQ+ venues the weekend before New York's mayoral election, including Gabriela, Caribbean Social Club, Damballa, Mood Ring, 100 Sutton and Papi Juice. A widely viewed clip shows Mamdani speaking from a DJ booth at Papi Juice, an art collective affirming and celebrating queer and trans people of colour. He asked attendees if they were ready to win an affordable city and urged them to vote, receiving loud cheers and applause. Mamdani directed supporters to a get-out-the-vote link to sign up for shifts. If elected, Mamdani would be the first Muslim and Indian American mayor of New York City and pledged to designate the city as a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ people while allocating millions for housing programmes and gender-affirming care.
