Day 11 of our son Zohran’s hunger strike in solidarity with NYC taxi drivers.

RT @ZohranKMamdani: How did we get into the taxi medallion crisis? . The City. And now it can help resolve that same crisis by working wit….

To stand in solidarity with NYC's Taxi Workers:. 1. Visit their 24/7 protest by city hall (Broadway & Murray). 2. Call your elected officials & demand that @NYCMayor approve @NYTWA's debt restructuring plan. To learn more about the plan, watch this video:.

These men have been standing outside of City Hall (Broadway & Murray) since Sunday, 9/17. They won’t leave until the city approves the plan they deserve each - one that truly restructures their debt & makes their payments affordable.

This is Balkar Singh. He is 62 years old. He has driven a taxi for 31 years. He owes $435,000 to a hedge fund. His mortgage is $2,800/month. He is terrified that they will try and take his home from him.

This is Richard Chow. He is 63 yrs old. He has driven a taxi for 16 yrs. He owes $389k to a hedge fund for his medallion. Before the pandemic, he had to pay $2,766/month. His brother Kenny was a taxi driver who committed suicide in 2018 bc of his debts. He owed $580k at the time

The @NYTWA has a plan to restructure their loans to make them affordable, but we must pressure the City to do so. This isn’t just an issue of livelihood, it’s an issue of life & death. These are their stories.

NYC Taxi drivers are on a 24/7 protest re the failure of the City to grant them debt relief. They were told for years that the medallion would be a sure entry to the middle class. Now drivers drowning in debt & 9 have committed suicide.
