About the event

Join us for a discussion in Greek about the campaigning style of the next young mayor of New York City. To what extent can democracy be strengthened from a center of power that is at the grassroots level? By a younger generation. And convincing people of older generations to join.

Can Mamdani’s example of making connections with communities, listening to and understanding their needs, hand-to-hand contact with individuals who are eager to share their concerns, get them to the polls to vote, and further encourage them to participate?
