CANARY MISSION Inside the DSA Machine: The Mamdani Threat America stands at a crossroads. Both the Woke Left and Woke Right are exerting outsized influence over the political center, reshaping the national conversation at an alarming pace. Against this backdrop, New York City is heading into its most consequential mayoral election since 1993, when the city faced a crisis of crime, economic instability and political upheaval. Today, the challenges are just as urgent: skyrocketing cost of living, worsening public safety, deteriorating public services and a widening ideological divide intensified by the rise of Zohran Mamdani. His campaign embodies the agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Mamdani does not simply represent a left-wing alternative. He represents a movement that openly despises America, glorifies violence and terrorism, and seeks to dismantle the police and other institutions that keep citizens safe.

Canary Mission documents people and groups that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews. We investigate hatred across the North American political spectrum, including the far-right, far-left and anti-Israel activists. Every individual and organization has been carefully researched and sourced. You can help expose hatred by alerting us to antisemitic activity on your college campus and beyond.
