New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani delivered a sermon at Greater Allen AME Church, led by Reverend Stephen Green, a pastor known for his outspoken views on race, reparations, and policing. Mamdani's address intertwined scripture with his campaign platform, criticizing federal immigration enforcement and highlighting affordability issues in the city. Reverend Green, who has previously called for reparations and the abolition of police, welcomed Mamdani as a 'brother and friend.' The event comes as Mamdani faces renewed scrutiny over his past calls to defund the police, which he recently attempted to distance himself from following a high-profile shooting in Manhattan. Both Mamdani and Green have drawn attention for their controversial stances on social justice, policing, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
