EXCERPT:
MAMDANI: “Many New Yorkers, many Harlemites, when they wake in the morning, they often don’t have time to think, let alone to thank. Because as soon as people rise, they are off to work before the sun is even in the sky. They toil long hours, earning pay that doesn’t keep up with the soaring costs of rent or childcare or even of a metro card.”
UNKNOWN: “Amen.”
MAMDANI: “And when our friends and our family are being priced out of the city, it’s hard to feel grateful.”
