But on the Monday before the Democratic congressional primaries, the crowd packed inside the converted hangar was more focused on a slate of progressive candidates winning some tight races.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/atlaslivingmedia.com\/?p=623\">Thomson Reuters Is Profiting Off of ICE\u2019S Reign of Terror<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Awash in neon light, candidates Brad Lander and Claire Valdez each took the stage, urging attendees to tell their communities to vote the next day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have one more day, 6 <span>am<\/span> to 9 <span>pm<\/span>; at 9:01, it is too late,\u201d Valdez said. \u201cUntil then, we are going to knock on every single door again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hours earlier, Matthew Smith, a student from Fordham University, bounded up the steps to knock on another Upper West Side brownstone in the rain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gotta win this. We gotta power through,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>When the woman inside answered, she politely refuted his spiel. Smith smiled, thanking her, and turned to go back down the steps. When asked if he still gets nervous talking to people about candidates, he admitted, \u201cYes, every time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith is one of several students who canvassed for the slate of Democratic socialists who ran for Democratic nominations in congressional districts across New York City. That day, he was canvassing for Darializa Avila Chevalier, who prevailed over incumbent Adriano Espaillat for a seat representing NY-13. The win was shared across the slate of candidates endorsed by Zohran Mamdani, which saw victories for Claire Valdez in NY-7 and Brad Lander in NY-10. For many students who were involved in organizing for Mamdani\u2019s slate, the win signifies the manifestation of their vision for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>YDSA national co-chair Sara Almosawi, a student at Cornell University who worked on Valdez and Avila Chevalier\u2019s campaigns, joined the organization after graduating from high school. \u201cI felt deeply moved by both of the Bernie Sanders campaigns, and when the DNC forced Bernie to drop out in 2020, I wanted an alternative. I wanted to build something that really represented the politics of working-class people like myself,\u201d said Almosawi.<\/p>\n<p>Several students found their entry into the political left with Zohran Mamdani\u2019s 2025 mayoral election in New York City. \u201cI first volunteered for him because I saw that he represented a campaign, a vision, that resonated with me, which is a working-class-focused vision,\u201d said Fuhad Khan, a City College student working as a field lead for Valdez. Sitting in a corner booth at the dingy Rocka Rolla bar in Williamsburg, Khan\u2019s bright-blue-and-orange Zohran shirt made him hard to miss.<\/p>\n<p>Khan would go on to join the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), where he became further involved in leftist politics. While Khan \u201cnaturally supported any DSA candidates\u201d as a member of the organization, he joined Valdez\u2019s team after receiving a call from her campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Garcia-Castilla, a student at Hunter College, had a similar path into politics. He joined Avila Chevalier\u2019s campaign in February, months after casting his first vote in a New York City election for Mamdani. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of our campaign, how far we\u2019ve gone, and how united we\u2019ve been,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as no surprise that Mamdani\u2019s bid for mayor had such a galvanizing effect on students like Khan and Garcia-Castilla. His NYCDSA-backed campaign captured a shocking 75 percent of voters ages 18\u201329, a demographic of which former New York governor Andrew Cuomo garnered only 19 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe youth vote, I think, was critical, and a lot of analysis has shown that the youth vote is overwhelmingly lent for progressive candidates,\u201d said Leel Dias, a student at Columbia University who worked on Valdez and Avila Chevalier\u2019s campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani\u2019s successful campaign was a sign of what was to come in the June primaries. Lorelei Crean, a student who graduated from high school in upper Manhattan in June, canvassed for Avila Chevalier. He said the June sweep \u201cwas really a testament to New York City DSA\u2019s increasing political power in New York City, but also the power of the people to fight for progressive causes and candidates that have a new politic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese campaigns, they invite younger people, because the candidates are younger, the messages that they\u2019re conveying are resonating with younger voters because they\u2019re actually focused on delivering for younger people, delivering on things that matter to us, like education, affordability, Palestine,\u201d Fuhad said.<\/p>\n<p>Smith has also seen that because of races like Mamdani\u2019s and Avila Chevalier\u2019s, \u201ca lot more young people are getting involved and they\u2019re finally seeing themselves in an elected official.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Young people making political waves isn\u2019t new. \u201cStudents have always been at the forefront of political fights,\u201d Smith said, referencing Vietnam anti-war protests, South Africa anti-apartheid movements, and recent encampments in support of Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>Students often lead progressive campaigns, he said, adding that the slate\u2019s win required young people leading the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of my friends would leave class early just to get to some kind of event, or people who are canvassing in the heat, in the cold\u2026I think from those moments it showed me that obviously some of us, we have a lot to give up,\u201d said Tapuwanashe Hightower, a recent NYU graduate who canvassed for Valdez.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/atlaslivingmedia.com\/?p=621\">Trump Can\u2019t Admit That He Lost the Iran War<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the DSA has championed the success of Mamdani\u2019s slate, not all progressives are cheering, and criticism of Mamdani\u2019s slate has been concentrated on Avila Chevalier. Within days of the June primaries, Jon Favreau, the former Obama speechwriter who hosts the left-leaning podcast <em>Pod Save America<\/em>, cautioned against Avila Chevalier, taking issue with her decision not to apologize for attending a pro-Palestinian rally on October 8, 2023, that Mamdani, AOC, and Lander had all condemned at the time. He also condemned her opposition to all deportations in a recent interview. By his account, some of her positions ranged from \u201cmoronic to abhorrent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachary Gross and Sam Verstandig, recent graduates of Yeshiva University and SUNY Empire State College who organized for Espaillat\u2019s campaign against Avila Chevalier, were similarly troubled by Avila Chevalier\u2019s attendance at the rally. Her stance on Israel was a \u201cdriving force\u201d for many of the students who volunteered for Espaillat, Verstandig said.<\/p>\n<p>Both students expressed concern over how their interests might be represented by Avila Chevalier in Congress. \u201cBased on the messaging that she\u2019s given, I think she bunches Israel and the Jewish people together,\u201d Gross said. \u201cI hope that her opinions towards Israel don\u2019t make her decide to neglect her constituents who are Jewish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Avila Chevalier and Espaillat campaigns did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Marks, a student at King\u2019s College who organized for the Alex Bores campaign in NY-12, which ultimately fell to establishment-backed Micah Lasher, provided a softer critique of Avila Chevalier. \u201cI am very happy to see how she does. I would just like more clarification on her foreign policy stances, especially when it comes to Russia and Ukraine,\u201d Marks said. \u201cI go to school in the UK, and I think NATO is really important, and I think there\u2019s a divide between progressives and socialists where sometimes the further to the left you are, there\u2019s maybe more of an unwillingness to condemn Russia\u2019s invasion in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I do have issues with some of the things Darializa\u2019s said, she is the Democratic nominee, and so it is important we support her,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Marks does not see the success of Mamdani\u2019s slate as indicative of any enduring shift in the Democratic Party as some of his DSA counterparts do. \u201cWe have the tendency to use midterms as political tea leaves,\u201d Marks said. Yet he recognizes that the left flank of the party will be a force to be reckoned with. \u201cI think what it does tell you is the progressive left wing of the party should be taken seriously,\u201d Marks said.<\/p>\n<p>He did, however, raise concern over mounting tension between \u201cmoderates and the left wing of the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re getting to this point where it\u2019s really like an internal war between these two sects of the Democratic Party, and that\u2019s becoming a problem when the two groups aren\u2019t willing to support the other,\u201d Marks said.<\/p>\n<p>For several of the students who worked on the Mamdani slate\u2019s primary campaigns, however, that war\u2014pushing the party to align with the DSA\u2014is the Democrats\u2019 only chance to become a more viable party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see the future of the Democratic Party is either a Democratic Socialist Party or an obsolete party that no longer represents the working class, and there will be another party to take its place,\u201d Smith said. \u201cIf that is the split of the Democratic Party\u2014if it\u2019s between fighting for working-class people and fighting for the billionaires\u2014the people who are fighting for the billionaires should not be in the party, and let the party split.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, students are hoping the success in the primaries extends to the future. \u201cI think that\u2019s the testament to the new wave and the new energy that Democrats really need to harness, especially in these midterms and going into 2028,\u201d Crean said.<\/p>\n<p>Noah Bernstein, a student at Stony Brook University, said he felt that if the Democratic Party doesn\u2019t put up a progressive for president in 2028, \u201cwe either risk losing\u2026or having a worse fascist in 2032.<\/p>\n<p>But before the DSA can think about supporting a presidential candidate in 2028, its candidates will have to prove themselves on the Hill. \u201cThe test will be, you know, what happens when they go to Congress\u2014how much are they able to deliver,\u201d Dias said.<\/p>\n<p>On the evening of June 24, students populated election parties across the city and celebrated as their candidates delivered victory speeches. \u201cIt was absolutely electric,\u201d Almosawi said. \u201cPeople that I didn\u2019t even know, I was hugging, I was crying with them, I was screaming with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe older generation, their time is up. They can only stay in power for so long, and it\u2019s time for young people to take our place,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe have a world to win, and it\u2019s ours to take. We just have to fight to get it, and that\u2019s where the students come in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/atlaslivingmedia.com\/?p=619\">\u2018The Nation\u2019 and WILPF: Entwined Histories, Entwined Destinies<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nation Magazine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":444,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-studentnation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
