Progressive Caucus
The New York City Council Progressive Caucus was formed early in 2010 to fight for progressive values and combat Bloomberg, a mayor who has often, in the words of caucus co-chair Brad Lander, "undermined grassroots democracy." By June 2010, 12 of the city's 51 council members had joined the caucus. Prominent members include;
- Brad Lander, caucus co-chair.
- Melissa Mark-Viverito, a council member who represents East Harlem and who is the caucus's other co-chair.
- Daniel Dromm, who represents Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and other parts of northwest Queens.[2]
New York "progressives"
According to Communist Party USA member Danny Rubin, writing in the People's World;[3]
- The possibility for a turn in direction also depends on the outcome of the city council elections, where there is a substantial Progressive Caucus led by Melissa Mark-Viverito and Brad Lander. Viverito will seek election to the powerful post of speaker and has a real shot at it. There are also progressives running with serious shots at victory, such as Letisha James for public advocate and Ken Thompson for Brooklyn district attorney. Robert Jackson is running for Manhattan Borough president. All three are African American.
