One of Zohran Mamdani’s signature legislative proposals from his time in the New York State Assembly has been reintroduced by his successor and allies. And while the original proposal for the “Not on Our Dime! Ending New York Funding of Israeli Settler Violence” Act was met with open hostility from New York’s Democratic Party, there are reasons to believe this time might be different.

Originally introduced in 2023 by then–Assembly Member Mamdani and Senator Jabari Brisport, “Not on Our Dime” seeks to stop New York charities from financially supporting Israeli war crimes and Palestinian displacement. Diana Moreno, who succeeded Mamdani in the assembly and is one of nine New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYC-DSA)–endorsed members of the state legislature, reintroduced it this session.

“I am proud to reintroduce the ‘Not on Our Dime’ act in the State Assembly to end our state’s complicity with war crimes, apartheid, and genocide,” said Assembly Member Moreno, “Too often, New York State supports organizations and military units responsible for the violent displacement and atrocities against Palestinian people by allowing them to operate as charities in violation of international law. I join Palestinian and human rights organizations, labor unions, and my colleagues in the state legislature to finally stop our state from subsidizing these atrocities.”
