✊🏾Thousands of African migrants rallied today at City Hall to have their voices heard. They add to the tapestry that makes New York— New York! We hope the Mayor hears their voices!
TY Alexa Avilés for hosting this rally and hearing critical to our community! #WelcomingNY
Yesterday we joined thousands of NYers at City Hall to demand that NYC take proper measures- from providing language support to ending shelter evictions- to end disparate treatment of black migrants. We shouldn't complain about problems we're not working to change. #WelcomingNY
