00:00Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city.

00:07He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century.

00:14And he will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations.

00:20But most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us.

00:30My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and it is my deep honor and privilege to welcome you

00:42to the inauguration of our new mayor of New York City, Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

00:52We gather here today to celebrate the beginning of his leadership,

00:56as well as that of two incredible elected officials who will be guiding the city by his side.

01:03Public advocate Jumaane D. Williams

01:06and our new controller, Mark D. Levine.

01:13We also celebrate the hundreds and thousands of public servants and city leaders getting to work

01:21today, from our sanitation workers and librarians, to our commissioners, deputy mayors, and our

01:29school's chancellor, as they care for our city and its people in the coming weeks, months, and years.

01:38Together, this ascent marks a new era for New York City.

01:42Led by a historic new mayor, in Zohran Mamdani.

01:50Guided by his dedication to a working class that makes our beautiful city run.

01:58Importantly, I also ask that we consider today an inauguration for each one of us,

02:06two, the nearly 8.5 million New Yorkers who make up the greatest city on earth.

02:15Because it is the people of New York City who have chosen historic, ambitious leadership

02:23in response to untenable and unprecedented times.

02:27New York, we have chosen courage over fear.

02:35We have chosen prosperity for the many over spoils for the few.

02:42And when the entrenched ways would rather have us dig in our feet and seek refuge in the past,

02:50we have chosen, instead, to turn towards making a new future for all of us.

02:58In Zohran Mamdani, we have chosen a mayor who is relentlessly dedicated

03:03to making life not just possible, but aspirational for working people.

03:10New York City has chosen the ambitious pursuit of universal child care,

03:16affordable rent and housing,

03:19and clean and dignified public transit for all.

03:25And we have chosen that over the distractions of bigotry

03:29and the barbarism of extreme income inequality.

03:35We have chosen this path because we know that it's the right thing to do,

03:40it's the smart thing to do,

03:43and that if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.

03:47New York City, this is an inauguration for all of us,

03:53because choosing this mayor and this vision is an ambitious pursuit.

03:59It calls on all of us to return to public life and mass.

04:06Now is the time for us to turn towards our neighbors,

04:11stand with them, and return to community life.

04:14A city for all will require all of us to fill our streets, our schools,

04:21our houses of faith, our PTAs, and our block associations

04:25as we support this mayor in making an affordable city a reality for all of us.

04:32Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city.

04:41He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century.

04:45And he will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations.

04:54But most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us.

05:00With that, let us extend our deepest well wishes and support

05:06to Zohran, his wife Rama, and his family,

05:10as well as those of our public advocate, Jumaane Williams,

05:15and controller Mark Levine.

05:17We send you, your spouses and families, and all your loved ones

05:22all the support in the world as you embark on this great pursuit

05:26of a better city and future for all.
