NY Mayor-Elect's Message to Donald Trump: Defeating Oligarchy and Corruption

Challenging Misinformation and Oligarchy

• 💡 Misinformation is being used to redefine reality and make people fear a new age, often pitting those earning $30/hour against those earning $20/hour.
• 🎯 The billionaire class benefits from societal division, distracting people from the work of remaking a broken system.
• ✊ We refuse to let them dictate the rules of the game; they must play by the same rules as everyone else.

Ushering in a Generation of Change

• 🚀 Embracing a brave new course allows us to respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with strength, not appeasement.
• 🔑 The city that gave rise to Donald Trump can show a nation betrayed by him how to defeat him.
• 💥 Dismantling the conditions that allowed Trump to accumulate power is key to stopping him and the next one.

Holding Power Accountable

• 🗣️ To Donald Trump: "Turn the volume up." We will hold bad landlords accountable, as the "Donald Trumps" of the city have grown too comfortable exploiting tenants.
• 💰 We will end the culture of corruption that allows billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks.
• 🤝 We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections, knowing that when working people have ironclad rights, exploitative bosses become small.

A City Led by Immigrants

• 🌍 New York will remain a city of immigrants, built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and now led by an immigrant.
• ✊ "To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."
