I joined Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Councilmember Jumaane Williams, Assemblymember Diana Richardson, and hundreds of concerned citizens to march across the Brooklyn Bridge to show their solidarity with those suffering in the Dominican Republic. The March for Justice in Dominican Republic continues. Please see video below.
