John,
Mayor Lovely Warren of Rochester, New York, is taking over Mike's Instagram account and Facebook Stories today for #MayorsTakeTheMic!
Mayor Warren will share how Rochester is not only responding to the pandemic -- but also coming together to lift people out of poverty, invest in underserved communities, and continue Rochester's history of fighting for human and civil rights. Join her today for a first-hand look at her city:
Mayor Warren is the first woman elected to lead Rochester -- the home of suffragette and women's rights champion Susan B. Anthony. In 2016, to mark the historic occasion of a woman leading a major party presidential ticket, Mayor Warren laid a sign by Anthony's grave reading, "144 years ago, your illegal vote got you arrested. It took another 48 years for women to finally gain the right to vote. Thank you for paving the way."
Spend the day with Mayor Warren for our latest #MayorsTakeTheMic:
