New York City's new mayor was celebrated with a political rave in Brooklyn. Members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held the event at a Bushwick dance club.
The gathering marked the start of Mayor Shafiqua Mamdani's term. She is a member of the DSA, a political organization that advocates for public control of major industries and expanded social services.
The party signals the group's growing influence in city politics. Supporters danced as Mamdani began to govern the largest city in the United States.
The celebration was unusual for a political milestone. It combined grassroots organizing with nightclub culture.
