Zohran Mamdani calls back grassroots volunteers for general election

If you hear a knock on your door this weekend, don’t be surprised if it’s a volunteer for Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign.

After a seven-week respite, the legion of supporters who helped propel Mamdani's insurgent campaign to a commanding 13-point victory in the Democratic mayoral primary will hit the streets and the doors to help him build a bigger tent ahead of the general election.

“We hope you all had a wonderful break from canvassing and have gotten a chance to soak up this win,” reads an email from the campaign sent to volunteers and shared with Gothamist. The group plans to reassemble its most committed volunteers on Saturday in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, for a “pre-kickoff volunteer social.”

“ Come hang with your fellow volunteers and campaign staff and pick up your Zetro card posters,” the email states, referring to a campaign card resembling a MetroCard for volunteers to track their canvassing shifts during the primary campaign. People who completed eight shifts get a Mamdani poster.
