🎶if you wanna get with me there’s some things you gotta know, I like my beats fast and my bass down low🎶 #hastwt lurker but I’m trying to come out of my shell

Yup, that’s me.
You’re probably wondering how I got here.
My name is Darializa Ávila Chevalier. Last year, I was a field lead for @zohrankmamdani. Now I’m a candidate for Congress in NY-13, running with his endorsement.
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
This is why no one likes the american outlaws, all they do is just steal other nation’s chants and traditions without ever acknowledging where they came from. hilariously enough, it’s the most us soccer (not american) shit ever

no one cares about news right now, just Japanese World Cup fans doing rodeo and New Yorkers cheering sanitation workers, and I'm gonna miss this little weird period when it's over
