Major Democratic Election Rally on the UWS: 'Epicenter of the Voting Powerhouse of America'
The atmosphere was positively charged within the Upper West Side’s Verdi Square on West 72nd Street for the Let’s Go Dems rally on Sunday morning.
A few hundred people, many of whom held New York For Harris and Walz signs, along with locals carrying posters for neighborhood Democratic clubs, were joined by a long list of Democratic elected officials that included Rep. Jerry Nadler, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, Comptroller Brad Lander, Councilmembers Gale Brewer and Shaun Abreu, Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, and more.
The rally began around 11:30 a.m., with Levine, who organized the event, serving as the emcee, introducing the different speakers.
“This is the epicenter of the voting powerhouse of America,” Levine told West Side Rag before the event began, about the reason for hosting the rally on the Upper West Side. “The neighborhood has a long history of Democratic activism. We’ll mobilize the whole world here today.”
