Mayor Mamdani rallies Unions and orgs representing 300K+ working New Yorkers to call on Gov Hochul to raise taxes on the super wealthy & protect working people. These 5 demands would raise ~$10.3B from those making $5M/year to $100M+/year. This should be a slam dunk. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rDCiYJSuevrr8jD9APkOk6B9i-cWoHU6oFvK7u2IsbI/edit?tab=t.3uzasv16jrb5
