New York City Town Hall with Brad Lander: Standing Up Against Trump and Fighting for Progressive Values

Published | Video Starts at 06:42

There's people in this room fighting to make sure that New York City is protected. And I'll talk about this a little later. But of course, that's what I have been trying to do as well. That's what I did when Elon Musk tried to come and take $80 million away from the people of New York City. We said, no way we're gonna get that money back. That's what I did when I called on New York City to sue Tesla on behalf of the city's pension funds so that we could get changes in governance and leadership at that company, which we sorely need.
