Rest in power, Congressman. You will always be the Lion of Lenox Avenue.

[Harlem Democrats for Change @HarlemDems]

It is with profound sorrow that Harlem Democrats for Change mourns the passing of Congressman Charles B. Rangel — a decorated veteran, civil rights champion, and a towering son of Harlem.

[Harlem Democrats for Change @HarlemDems]

We extend our deepest condolences to his children and the entire Rangel family. Harlem has lost a legend — but his spirit and legacy will endure.

Met President @JoeBiden (when he was VP) on the White House lawn w/ @BarackObama repping @iava. He dropped my cell taking this selfie—offered to replace it on the spot. That’s Uncle Joe. Quiet strength, real heart.

From #Harlem, with our thoughts & prayers. #PrayersForBiden

[Harlem Democrats for Change @HarlemDems]

Absolutely—every voice is crucial.

We will turn our organizing into lasting wins for our community!

[Corey Ortega @mrortegany]

The @HarlemDems inaugural meeting showed that our people are ready—not just to organize and strategize, but to win.

From rent-stabilized tenants on Broadway to our officials at Lenox Terrace to the families of Taino Towers to the ballot box & beyond, our voices continue to rise.

[Harlem Democrats for Change @HarlemDems]

The @HarlemDems are bringing together local leaders and community members to build real political power. We had a terrific first meeting, where community members shared about their experiences, and ideas percolated among the members. We are ready to get to work!
