Mamdani, whose ascent to City Hall was fueled in part by a savvy digital media strategy, plans to launch a livestream series called “Talk with the People” on Thursday afternoon, his office said. The series will originate on Twitch, a livestreaming service popular among video gamers, but it will also be available on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and other major social platforms.

“With the launch of ‘Talk with the People,’ we’re bringing City Hall directly to the platforms where New Yorkers already spend their time,” Mamdani said in a statement.
