Around Brooklyn: In or out of office, a Rose is a Rose
In or out of office, a Rose is a Rose
U.S. Rep. Max Rose, who represented New York’s 11th Congressional District (Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) for two years, recently gave his farewell address to Congress. “In the face of unimaginable adversity, we don’t give up fighting until it doesn’t matter what you look like or where you come from, but in this country you can accomplish your dreams,” Rose said. “You know, in light of recent electoral results, some have begun to wonder if Democrats should soft-pedal the fight for equal justice, if they should take a step back from fighting for economic security, or even just give up. I am here to say absolutely not. Justice cannot wait. If you aren’t willing to risk everything to build a better country, then you do not belong here in the first place.”
