NYC’s cultural heartbeat is powered by its musicians — They deserve fair pay, health care, and dignity on and off the stage. Proud to stand with @Local_802_AFM President Robert Suttman in calling for stronger support for the artists. 📖 Read the op-ed: amny.com/opinion/suppor…

Pay musicians their worth. Arts for all. Make New York City Affordable. Vote: @ZohranKMamdani

ZZohran Kwame Mamdani@ZohranKMamdani · Jul 16

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay. That's what @Local_802_AFM organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.
