There are a great many of us who were personally affected by 9/11. A quarter-century of collective visceral memories. It’s a blessing for these new generations who didn’t experience it as it happened, but it’s kind of a curse for us.

Republicans are attempting to destroy 73 years of unified urban Democratic voting & our federal congressional representation by dividing me and EVERY KANSAS CITY MISSOURI RESIDENT into one of THREE fully diluted, vast expanses of mostly rural counties, up to 4 hours away from the city!

Seeing my urban county vote for Democratic Socialist Hartzell Gray was awesome, but realizing that 73 years of unified urban core Congressional voting was destroyed by MO GOP gerrymandering, and that Jackson County’s votes were diluted by redistricting wasn’t awesome.

The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.
