MRNY leaders Amador Rivas and
Francisca Mujica then got serious by reviewing MRNY's substantive policy
platform for the scores of elected officials in attendance at the assembly,
hosted at the Bushwick High School Campus. (Watch in
Spanish.)
We closed out the day with inspiring performances by poets, MRNY's very own
theater troupe, and performances representing the cultural diversity of Latin
America.
Together, we amplified the voices and policy concerns of
thousands of low-income New Yorkers. Our elected representatives listened and
promised to take action to promote equity and opportunity. We are looking
forward to working together to make our vision a reality.
Thanks to all of our supporters who made this work
possible!
