“Zohran is literally attempting to do what conservatives say we want to do, which is provide gender affirming care to anyone who wants it for free. We're gonna fly people in and pay for their hotel rooms.”
That’s Daniel Goulden, a member of NYC DSA’s Steering Committee, speaking on a panel DSA just uploaded from last month’s Socialism 2025 conference.
Goulden worked on Zohran Mamdani’s campaign, helped write the trans policy platform, and says he regularly meets with Zohran and his staff.
“We collaborated with the Zohran Mamdani campaign on his trans rights platform, and what we explicitly wanted to do was use the power of New York City to provide free gender affirming care—and I say free in case insurance companies decide to boot us off—free gender affirming care not just to people in New York City but across the country.”
“DSA has regular meetings with him, let alone his team. His policy director is my friend. I've been working with his campaign manager for well over a year.”
This isn’t hypothetical. DSA operatives are openly planning to turn New York City into a national hub for trans healthcare—flying people in, paying for hotels, mailing prescriptions across state lines—and doing it on the taxpayer’s dime.
And it’s not just about healthcare. It’s about power.
“With Zohran, we’re in basically the best possible position to seize state power.”
They’re not hiding it. They’re posting it proudly. The Democratic Socialists of America are building a machine—rooted in radicalism, empowered by city government, and led by a man now poised to run the largest city in America.
