When I won in 2018, many dismissed our victory as a “fluke.”
Our win was treated as an aberration, or bc my opponent “didn’t try.”
So from the start, tonight’s race was important to me.
Tonight we are proving that the people’s movement in NY isn’t an accident. It‘s a mandate.
If anyone wants to match me, I’m giving to the Emergency Release Fund who are working tirelessly to get incarcerated trans folks out of NYC’s jails and keep them safe.
