No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.
If NYC can do it, so can you.. so can we.

This is an Obama 2004 DNC Convention speech-level seismic event of a speech by Zohran Mamdani.

It's too bad he can't run for President, but this speech will be every bit as much of political earthquake that will be remembered.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by hisβ€”and his campaign'sβ€”unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!

His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.
