hey - so the new york post basically constantly monitors us on social media, and you portrayed my post as an official campaign statement. I know that's a joke, but that creates problems for me at work, since it is not! So I hope you understand why I deleted &, as a kindness, could you delete?

There’s a (very early) version of this that was much longer because there is so much primary source footage and audio and photos of her out there. As with all our episodes, we’re only scratching the surface and i hope this compels you to keep digging- this city’s history is alive and vibrant

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 3: Earl Manigault

When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro.

There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.
