Black text on white page that reads:

More than two centuries ago, Father Hidalgo y Costilla’s church bell gave way to the cry of a people known as El Grito de Dolores — a call for freedom that would begin Mexico’s long struggle for independence. 

Today, that same spirit of self-determination lives in Mexican New Yorkers who have helped build this city for generations — from the zapateros of Corona to the banda musicians of Sunset Park. 

As we celebrate an independent Mexico, we also celebrate the Mexican New Yorkers who make our city great. And we recommit ourselves to defending their dignity and right to belong.

In moments of uncertainty and cruelty, New York City does not leave its own behind.
