Dear Community,
Happy Fourth of July weekend! I hope you all take a moment to relax this weekend and recognize this important day in our nation’s history. In recognition of the national holiday, our offices will be closed on Monday, July 5th, 2021.
I encourage you to use Independence Day as an opportunity to reflect on the complicated history of our nation’s founding. It is important to acknowledge that as a country we have failed to live up to the principle that “all men are created equal.” We each play a critical role in the fight for universal freedom and equity – and that begins by recognizing our nation’s history of injustice and the systems of oppression that remain deeply rooted in our society to this day.
New York City will be having its annual Fourth of July fireworks celebration on the East River at 9:25pm, plus fireworks at Coney Island starting at 10pm. Wherever you are celebrating, I hope you all enjoy the holiday and stay safe!
With Gratitude,
