Mamdani went on a hunger strike with this cab driver in 2021. He drove the NYC mayor to his inauguration four years later

In 2021, Richard Chow, a New York City taxi cab driver, went on a hunger strike alongside then-Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to fight for more debt relief for cabbies who had been victims of financial schemes.

Thursday, a little more than four years after the successful hunger strike, Chow dropped Mamdani off at City Hall to be inaugurated as the mayor.
