Who has already signed up to Canvas? So what I am staring at is a line of people waiting to get inside Zoran Mamdani's campaign rally here in Washington Heights. It's now 6 p.m. on Monday night, October 13th. It's hard to explain just how big this line is. It literally spans three and a half blocks, and it is dense. And we are going to talk to people in this line and inside this rally

I'm 16 years old, and from what I've heard, no, I can't. But I've been volunteering under Zoran, and apparently, according to adults, it's really rare to be happy or excited about a politician. So, you know, this is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I'm here because actually my son turned me to Thorheim. I didn't know anything about him. I was talking to him one day.

87.073 - 105.3 Audience member (rally attendee)

I said, you know, I may just vote for Cuomo because I thought it was Cuomo and Adam. Yeah. He's like, you didn't hear about Thorheim? And I said, no. He sent me a couple of videos and I like what he had to offer. So much so that you're here at his rally. And I've been canvassing for him actually the past three weeks, so...

We're also very excited about his position about Palestine and what's going on.
