“Friends, you are all in the awful and honorable position of being our teachers. I want you to know that in New York City and all across this country, people are paying attention. We’re seeing what you’re doing, and figuring out how we can do the same. We’re buoyed by your bravery, your compassion, your righteous anger. When our own communities inevitably face what you’re now facing, we will follow your playbook. Your efforts are not in vain, your sorrow is justified, your courage is shining a light for all of us. Yours, in love and fury, from Brooklyn.”
(BROOKLYN, NY)
