Happy Venezuelan Independence Day to everyone celebrating across New York City.
Today, we honor Venezuela's long struggle for self-determination, the generations of people who have carried that history with them to our city, and Venezuelans around the world who are still reckoning with the tragic aftermath of this devastating earthquake.
Our hearts are with our Venezuelan brothers and sisters during this moment of celebration and struggle.
¡Feliz Día de la Independencia! 🇻🇪
