I’m David Orkin. I’m an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, UAW union organizer, and democratic socialist. Today, I’m announcing my campaign to represent the working people of New York State Assembly District 38 in Ridgewood, Glendale, Woodhaven, and Ozone Park. I am the proud son of a Mexican immigrant mother whose Jewish grandparents migrated to Mexico to escape the persecution of the pogroms. I’ve lived and organized on both sides of the US-Mexico border — I know how much it matters to have a safe home and a community where you belong. I refuse to stand by while ICE terrorizes our city, landlords evict our neighbors from their homes, and greedy corporations make the cost of living crisis even worse. We have such a unique opportunity now that Zohran is mayor; we can build the city we deserve if we act together! My opponent has spent her entire career relentlessly seeking personal power and privilege. I am running so we can win collective power together. Will you donate $38 today for a campaign you can be proud of? please click my link in bio to donate! /donate/david4queens

My name is David Orkin. I’m an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, UAW union organizer, and democratic socialist running for New York State Assembly District 38 in Ridgewood, Glendale, Woodhaven, Ozone Park, and Richmond Hill. I’ve spent over a decade advocating for workers and I refuse to stand by while ICE terrorizes our city, landlords evict our neighbors from their homes, and greedy corporations make the cost of living crisis even worse. We have an opportunity to build the city we deserve, but only if we stand together. Join us, as we take this fight to Albany, because Queens needs neighbors that stand together: Video produced and edited by @kluzkluz

☀️🚪It’s a beautiful day to knock on doors and talk to our neighbors in Ridgewood and Glendale about @david4queens for Assembly. David has spent his life fighting for working people. As an immigrant workers’ rights attorney and union organizer, David knows what our communities are up against. From rising rents and wage theft to unaffordable healthcare and ICE raids, David is ready to be a voice for our members in Albany.

@berniesanders has worked tirelessly to advocate for the working class and help us wake up to one fundamental injustice: the vast majority of wealth and power in this country is controlled by just a few people. In the 10 years since his first populist presidential campaign, he has moved countless disaffected voters across the nation to reclaim their own political power. I am one of them. Perhaps you are too — if so, you know how much his endorsement means to us all. Sen. Sanders made it possible for so many socialists to build working class power here in NYC. Here in AD38, we’ll act on his call to fight for someone we don't know, because we all deserve a better future. Thank you, Bernie.

Proud to have the support of good government champions, @citizensunionny . For ~130 years, they've stood with New Yorkers against machine politics, corruption, and patronage. We'll work together to ensure accountability from our government as we fight for a more affordable city.
