"Today marks a historic day where we will embrace Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our nation’s leaders.
The inauguration allows us, at last, to turn the page on the dark years of Donald Trump’s presidency. We can all be proud that we prevailed through the recent attacks on our democracy. Although there are still rough days ahead, there’s much to look forward to. We replaced the divisive, hateful, racist policies of the Trump administration with a beacon of light to guide us forward.
We should rightfully be proud of our new president, dedicated to the rights of immigrants, who will fight climate change and environmental racism, and help rebuild our economy and health care system from the ravages of the Coronavirus pandemic.
With a cabinet and leadership team that looks like our country, the Biden/Harris administration means that our city and borough will have a partner.
Now is our chance to unite and prevail. Let’s make the most of it!"
