As we celebrate Juneteenth and the liberation of millions from bondage, we continue fighting for a future for Black Americans, from their workplaces to their homes and to the ballot boxes where they make their voices heard.

Today, we honor generations of fighters for freedom, cultural expression, and liberation, through the struggle continues, we will never stop organizing for a better future for Black workers and families rooted in justice and equality.

We fought hard for this endorsement, knocking on doors and talking to voters across AD38, showing Queens that a better future is possible. Grateful for Mark and the hundreds of voters heading to the polls now and on June 23 who know that we can't afford to wait for better leadership in Albany.
