The community has spoken but the Atlanta city officials are refusing to listen, so we're helping them get louder! @andreforatlanta More violent and militarized policing doesn't make people safe, investment in our people does. #StopCopCity NOW! #AllOfUs

Also in 2021 election cycle, Omar McGill was elected as the first ever African-American to the Schenectady County Legislature.

As BHM comes to an end, we uplift local Black History and Black pioneers! It was nearly 200 years before the first Black city council member. Remember those who built the foundation, give those still with us their flowers, celebrate our history.#Schenectady #BlackHistory #AllOfUs

1996, Joe Allen became first Black Schenectady City Council Member. 2012, Marion Porterfield became the first Black woman.

For 25 years, there would only be 1 Black person on the city council until the historic elections of 2021. Starting January 1, 2022, the city was represented by 3 Black Schenectady City Council Members with Marion Porterfield becoming the City Council President, another first.

The attacks continue, as does the undying support for justice!

Ellazar Williams has been given the go-ahead to move forward with an excessive force lawsuit against the now-retired Albany police detective who shot and paralyzed him during a 2018 foot chase. trib.al/dEgtQaK

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, don’t walk in the room and say “I can’t believe you’re calling me a duck after acting like a duck” #Schenectady #DontBeRacist

@SenSchumer #IncludeChildCareNow

Yesterday, members of the Progressive Caucus sent a letter to @SenSchumer to express our concern that child care may be left out of the reconciliation framework, and to reiterate our commitment to providing universal, quality, affordable child care to all New Yorkers.

How easily the work & revelations of 2020 (racial justice & the history of this country) have fallen by the wayside. BLM still painted outside city hall, yet the commitment to its reality fading much like the paint on the ground, unattended #Schenectady #BlackLivesMatter #AllOfUs
