We’re still marching today
Today I’m thinking about how far we’ve come in our fight for freedom, and how far we still have to go.
When I was a child, I saw the Civil Rights Movement spill into the streets of New York. I saw my family members and neighbors join together and demand an end to racial discrimination, voter suppression laws, low-paying jobs, and unsafe and unaffordable housing.
And today, we’re still marching to fight many of these injustices.
Even though we’ve made significant progress in our fight for freedom, Black people are still not free. And, as long as the GOP continues to introduce bills that chip away at our rights to vote, plan our families, live a life free of gun violence, make a livable wage, access affordable housing, and more, we may never be free.
That’s why I’m still in this fight with you. When I made history in 2018 as the first Black woman to ever win a statewide election in New York, I knew my success would mean nothing if I couldn’t use my post to fight for the vulnerable. That’s why I vowed to do everythingin my power to protect the voiceless and vulnerable – both in New York and beyond.
I’ve spent the last three and a half years as your attorney general fighting to stop the nationwide assault on our most fundamental rights, but the road to equality is long and winding. That’s why this Juneteenth, I vow to celebrate ALL our wins – big and small. I promise to stay in this fight for as long as it takes to obtain true freedom and equality.
