This is a cowardly attempt to rewrite history and intimidate our community. Stonewall is where we fought back, and we are not going backwards. We will not be erased, we will not be silenced, and the Pride flag will fly again at the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Let’s be clear. Trump is practicing extortion politics with the Gateway Tunnel project. 🚨
The Gateway Tunnel is about safety, jobs, climate, and keeping the Northeast economy moving. It is not a vanity project or a naming rights auction. 🏗️🚆
New Yorkers deserve infrastructure that works!
