Like many New Yorkers, I went canvassing for one or our mayoral candidates for the 2025 mayoral primary. I’d never been canvassing before, but the Zohran team taught me everything I needed to know and also gave me some well designed merch including a ZetroCard to encourage me to come back and canvass several times. Over the weeks leading up to the election, I managed to complete my ZetroCard by canvassing in a wide variety of neighborhoods. It was honestly a great way to explore different neighborhoods of the city. Here are the neighborhoods where I canvassed:
Upper West Side
Park Slope
East Village
Rockaway Beach (I joined a group to bike out to the beach and then canvass. We also had a small beach party afterwards.)
Hell’s Kitchen
East New York (I also joined a group bike ride to this neighborhood to canvass.)
Inwood (After canvassing, James and I visited The Met Cloisters.)
Hudson Yards (The doorman buildings were impenetrable.)
Bonus: Queens Pride with Rider’s Allinace
Luckily, the canvassing effort paid off as Zohran won the Democratic Primary!
