(New York, New York) – Zohran Mamdani is urging residents across New York City to step up as a major blizzard barrels toward the region, calling on volunteers to serve as emergency snow shovelers during the storm.
In a public message ahead of the expected snowfall, Mamdani asked able-bodied New Yorkers to report to their local sanitation garages between 8 a.m. This call to action is critical as the city braces for what meteorologists predict could be a record-breaking snowstorm.
