@Local_802_AFM
Our union is the world's largest local of professional musicians, representing thousands of performers in NYC and beyond. #802strong
- AFM Local 802 is proud to announce our endorsement of Democratic candidate for NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani
- Pay musicians their worth. Arts for all. Make New York City Affordable. Vote: @ZohranKMamdaniArt can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay. That's what @Local_802_AFM organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.
