UAW Rallies with Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress Ahead of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Endorsement
On Monday, UAW members and community allies joined our own UAW Local 2325 member Darializa Avila Chevalier running for Congress at a powerful rally in Washington Heights.
Region 9A Director Brandon Mancilla told the crowd, which included fellow Local 2325 member Conrad Blackburn running for State Assembly in Harlem, “The bosses and companies would never give us a living wage, healthcare, retirement security if we and the generations before us didn’t fight for it. Now we need fighters in Congress to make our issues loud and clear.”
In a show of power that proved that the campaign is building momentum in its challenge to the political establishment, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his endorsement of Darializa for New York’s 13th Congressional District today.
“This is a New Yorker who has not only secured the release of our neighbors from undue ICE custody, also someone who has been on the front lines of that fight for affordability, and I can’t wait for her to be introduced to so many across the city and across this country, as we fight for that affordability agenda from New York City to DC,” he said.
