Happy Pride Month, friend!
This month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community's vibrant history and unwavering resilience. This month, we honor the progress made, reflect on the challenges we continue to face, and recommit to the fight for equality for LGBTQ+ people in the nation and worldwide.
Across the country, we've seen a troubling rise in attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. From discriminatory legislation to hateful rhetoric, the battles being fought are stark reminders that our work is far from over. But amidst these challenges, the LGBTQ+ community has shown incredible strength and determination. You have stood up, spoken out, and fought back with love and resilience.
I am proud to represent New York as we continue to lead the way in championing LGBTQ+ rights. Our city and state have always been at the forefront of the movement, from the Stonewall uprising to the present day. As your representative, I am committed to ensuring that New York remains a beacon of hope and a symbol of what is possible when we stand together in solidarity.
Pride is not just a celebration; it's a powerful statement of visibility and resistance. It's about recognizing the joy and diversity within our community and honoring those who have paved the way for us. It's about the young people who find hope and strength in seeing their identities affirmed, and it's about continuing the fight for those who still face discrimination and inequality.
This Pride Month, I hope we can all celebrate with all the joy and exuberance that define the LGBTQ+ community. But let's also channel our energy into action. Let's continue to advocate for policies that protect and uplift LGBTQ+ individuals. Let's support organizations doing critical work on the ground. And let's stand united against any form of hate and bigotry.
I am grateful for your support and your commitment to equality. Together, we can create a future where everyone can live freely and authentically, regardless of who they are or whom they love.
Happy Pride!
