On April 16, 1963, while confined in Birmingham City Jail, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote words that still challenge the conscience of this nation. The Letter from Birmingham Jail was not merely a response to criticism. It was a moral defense of direct action, a call to reject complacency, and a reminder that justice cannot wait.
As we mark this anniversary, may we do more than admire his words. May we examine whether we are living them with courage, clarity, and commitment.

Honored to talk with the Caribbean Times about our priorities. The Hochul-Adams administration is going to be a voice for Caribbean communities and families.
We’re thrilled by @NYCMayor Mamdani's appointment of MDCNY cofounder @faiza_n_ali as Commissioner of Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA). Born to immigrant parents & raised in BK, she spent over a decade in CE & city gov, from @ArabAmericanNY to @CAIRNewYork to NYC Council
@LaColmenaNYC welcomes our new @NYCImmigrants MOIA commissioner @faiza_n_ali . We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting you in uplifting our immigrant communities.
SVP is thrilled that Faiza Ali @faiza_n_ali will be the new Commissioner for the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs @NYCImmigrants
We look forward to working with her to further the New Era that centers traditionally underserved communities at City Hall.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani will appoint Faiza Ali as commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) on Tuesday, amNewYork has learned. https://t.co/bDGbuvfooJ
Working with @chriscquinn@WINNYC_ORG@NYCCouncil to expand & strengthen CityFHEPS remains one of the highlights of my career.
Not fully implementing the law was wrong under Mayor Adams and is wrong now.
Homeless kids deserve better from their city government.
I’m thankful to have the support of New York City's largest public employee union @DC37nyc. Their members keep New York City running and I will always have their back.
I’m grateful to have the support of my friend — and New York Attorney General @TishJames.
Tish knows firsthand what it takes to win the toughest fights. With her in our corner, we’re going to keep standing up for New Yorkers across our state.
I’m honored to join Governor @KathyHochul’s ticket. And I’m ready to go win this election — so that we can lower costs, keep New Yorkers safe, and put money back in New Yorkers’ pockets.
Exciting announcement: I have a running mate.
I picked a New Yorker from Southeast Queens. Someone who grew up in a union household, just like I did. A fighter who knows how to deliver for New York.
Welcome to the team my friend – and our next Lieutenant Governor – @AdrienneEAdams.
.@GovKathyHochul & others saying council & comptrollers should’ve caught nyc’s $12B budget gap before @NYCMayor highlighted it this week.
They did. Repeatedly. The under-budgeting trick used by Adams to artificially balance the budget was widely known and reported on for years
