State of the People Town Hall: Make Your Voice Heard

"Donald Trump’s threats to arrest and deport a New York elected official are dangerous and despicable, but not surprising. This is the result of a relentless campaign of lies and bigotry aimed at the Assembly Member and Democratic mayoral nominee because of his views and identity – a campaign aided by both the words and the silence of many other New York elected officials. We must all – including current Mayor Eric Adams – condemn these attacks for what they are, and stand in opposition to Trump’s misinformation and hate.

"This is yet another example of the Trump administration's true aims – to deport people because he doesn’t like their race, their religion, their beliefs. He is finding new ways to make Black and Brown people illegal, and this a moment to stand together, refusing to give in to his rhetoric and policies that make all of us less safe."
