We asked @andrewcuomo whether he would commit to supporting reparations and making equality real for Black New Yorkers.
He refused to do so as Governor and refused to give us a clear answer now unlike @ZohranKMamdani who has already signed our pledge to back repair.

A white supremacist faction in Georgia is pushing a Jim Crow anti-voter strategy to silence Black and Brown Americans. They’ve even passed a ban on giving water to voters waiting in line — so that’s exactly what we are going to do.

Good to see @TheDemocrats following @getfree_mvmt’s lead when we projected MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda to lock in white supremacy onto RNC HQ last month.
Now we need Dems to take the next step & adopt Our Repair Mandate into the party platform tonight ➡️ secure.everyaction.com/sprcE…

Today, we delivered our repair mandate to the DNC’s doorsteps and we’re gonna keep the pressure on to ensure the party steps up and walks the talk, no matter who is at the top of the ticket.
Keep the momentum up with us; join our mass call on July 25th: bit.ly/Get-Free-Mass-Call

From ending affirmative action to whitewashing our history and attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, they want to drag us back to the 1800s and maintain the inequalities a wealthy, white few have relied on since enslavement to hold onto power.

That’s why we’re going to DC on July 18-19th, a whole month after Juneteenth and a day after the Republican National Convention, to demand the Democrats stand up to the MAGA faction and sign onto our repair mandate.
Will you join us in DC in July? bit.ly/TakeBackOurFuture

Juneteenth is a day when we celebrate Black people finally becoming free from centuries of enslavement.
But our struggle for our freedoms is being threatened by a white supremacist faction.
A 🧵 about this threat and what we can do. bit.ly/TakeBackOurFuture

Our movement in the news:
"We can come together... against what is happening in the Supreme Court, happening in state legislatures... and fight and push our electeds to stand for an America that is actually free and equal for all. That requires repair."
