The Next New York
What will it take for Mayor Zohran Mamdani to turn his platform into policy?
29-19 24th Avenue
Mamdani’s vision for New York includes free child care and “baby baskets” for every newborn. This panel will bring together advocates, educators, and policy experts to discuss what it would take to build a city that truly supports families from birth through high school – and whether there’s money to do it. Together, we’ll examine how these proposals could ease the pressures on parents, reduce inequality, and strengthen the next generation of New Yorkers.
635 Sackett Street
New Yorkers are always in a hurry — and the mayor has pledged to make it easier to get around. This conversation will dive into Mamdani’s proposals for fast, free buses. Panelists will explore the fiscal, political, and logistical hurdles this plan will face, as well as broader questions about what it will take to manage the streets and subways of the country's most bustling city.

New York City’s housing challenges are among the most complex in the nation. This panel will unpack Zohran Mamdani’s ambitious housing platform, from freezing rent and building deeply affordable homes to cracking down on predatory landlords and ending deed theft. Experts in housing policy, tenant organizing, and real estate development will assess what it would take to turn these ideas into reality, and what structural changes are needed to make housing in New York truly stable and fair.
This panel will be livestreamed on our website and YouTube channel.
