Today, we celebrate what would've been Sophie Rivera's 88th birthday🎉

A pioneering photographer, Rivera was part of a generation of artists challenging the misrepresentation of Latines in media, art, and culture

Hoy celebramos el que habría sido el 88º cumpleaños de Sophie Rivera🎉

Fotógrafa pionera, Rivera formó parte de una generación que se opuso a la imagen distorsionada de los latinos en los medios de comunicación, el arte y la cultura

[NYC Civic Engagement Commission @NYCCEC]

Last week, we joined hundreds of New Yorkers on Museum Mile to celebrate culture, community, and democracy. Visitors stopped by The People’s Bus, cast their vote in The People’s Money, and enjoyed the live salsa music and free access to El Museo del Barrio’s exhibit.

That’s what civic participation can look like: meeting people where they are and creating spaces where everyone can have a voice.

There’s less than one week left to vote in The People’s Money, so cast your ballot online today at https://t.co/v4wDzo2TwG 🔗
