A New York criminal justice activist said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is failing to stop “racist” policing in a recent interview with the Democratic Socialists of America.

The DSA-endorsed mayor is letting down fellow radicals by allowing local officers to arrest non-white people disproportionately, Police Reform Organizing Project director Robert Gangi said Sept. 24 in Democratic Left, the DSA’s official magazine. Gangi gave the interview to DSA member George De Stefano, whose New York City chapter helped Mamdani win his 2025 campaign with thousands of volunteers and voter outreach.
