‘Government Should Be Accessible’: Mamdani Launches Livestream Series ‘Talk with the People’

TRANSCRIPT:

MAMDANI: “Mayor La Guardia spoke to New Yorkers on the radio on a show called ‘Talk to the People’. This is our absolutely shameless homage. ‘Talk with the People’. We’re live on Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook and, yes, TikTok. If you’re watching this on Twitch, drop your questions in the chat and I’ll answer as many as I can. We’ll also be posting these conversations wherever you listen to podcasts, on your commute, washing dishes, pretending to answer emails, because government should be accessible. You should hear directly from your city about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.”
