MAMDANI: “It's a pleasure to be here because we are commemorating 35 years of the National Action Network, 35 years. (Applause) And since 1991, NAN has stood at the very front of progress, of marches for justice, of the pursuit for a fairer New York City for each and every person who lives in it. And to the Rev, you are a New York institution, truly. (Applause) You are as synonymous with our city as the Empire State Building or a folded slice of pizza.” (Laughter)
