Tens of thousands of New Yorkers braved freezing temperatures and police barricades to be part of Zohran Mamdani's inauguration as mayor on New Year's Day. _Democracy Now!_ spoke with many Mamdani supporters, including a high school student and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, about what the day represented to them, their hopes for the new administration and how it could set a model for progressives across the country. "Organized people will always be more powerful than organized money," said Diana Moreno, a fellow democratic socialist who is running for Mamdani's vacant seat in the New York State Assembly.
