[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history.

Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

Despite overwhelming public support, Congress has rescinded vital public media funding. It’s a loss. A deep one. But this isn’t over. We will keep fighting – for every local station, and for everyone who depends on them. #ProtectMyPublicMedia
