New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has established an Office of Mass Engagement, bringing the campaign apparatus that mobilised over 100,000 volunteers directly into City Hall through an executive order signed on 2 January.
The new office will be led by Tascha Van Auken, a Democratic Socialists of America organiser who orchestrated Mamdani's unprecedented field operation during his successful mayoral campaign. Van Auken's team knocked on more than 3 million doors across the city, mobilising what the mayor described as an 'army' of grassroots supporters.
