Mamdani, a Democratic socialist who takes over City Hall on Jan. 1, has enlisted more than 400 people to serve on his transition team, many as volunteers assisting the mayor-elect's incoming administration on policies and key appointments. That included Kazi Fouzia, a self-described "revolutionary organizer" and member of the Desis Rising Up and Moving group, who was tapped to lead Mamdani's "Worker Justice" transition committee.

The synchronized observances will take place at 12 noon and at 6 p.m. this coming Monday, a yearly tradition since County Executive Bruce Blakeman took office in 2022.
