David Alexis
David Alexis participated in at least one Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) event in 2022 in New York City, organized by the city’s DSA chapter (NYC-DSA).
NYC-DSA organizes pro-terror and anti-Israel rallies and disruptions, including an October 8, 2023, rally one day after Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis.
NYC-DSA uses social media to celebrate Hamas by using the
symbol. In a speech posted to Instagram, co-chair Gustavo Gordillo said [00:01:41]: "They make figures like Hamas and, quote unquote, terrorists into effective enemies...The terror comes from the capitalists and their pawns...the terror comes from the fascist governments and their ICE squads."
NYC-DSA's social media also features activists promoting antisemitism and explicit calls for Israel's destruction. They have called to "dismantle" the entire "U.S. capitalist economy" and have promoted hatred of the police, along with demands that police be abolished and disarmed.
David Alexis ran for New York State Senate in 2022. His platform was supported by NYC-DSA's Racial Justice Working Group, which called for the defunding of the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
As of October 2025, David Alexis’s Instagram bio showed a rose emoji,🌹.
The rose emoji indicates a person is "part of the DSA movement."
As of February 2026, David Alexis’s LinkedIn said he had been the lead project coordinator at the Commission on the Public's Health System (CPHS), located in New York, New York, since January 2025.
