Movements can still find people on social media. But the real organizing has to happen somewhere else — and getting people there is the part we keep skipping.
Reflecting on decades of organizing — from Occupy to Mamdani’s campaign — Yotam Marom’s book “For Louder Days” offers a powerful guide to making hard choices.
Julie Xu, a tenant organizer in Chinatown, explains why a 20-year movement for a rent freeze pivoted — and built a coalition to elect Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Wish I were in NYC and could sit in on this. Is this streaming anywhere? Sounds interesting. Wish you could’ve added someone on the panel who takes a different view of the matter. Would make for a fuller discussion.
Agreed—diversity definitely seems like it might be lacking on the panel in a serious way. I will try to represent some of the city’s at least public rhetorical arguments—though not with much sophistication or credulity, I fear.
No worries, I would do better defending your position 🙂
Will this discussion be posted online/YouTube?
Not sure. If they don’t, I’ll try to remember to bring a recorder, and perhaps I can at least get audio.
