When my campaign ended in March, I was not willing to walk away from the principles behind our Greenwood Initia tive. They are too important. And so Bloomberg Philan thropies hired campaign staff members who developed the initiative to explore ways we could bring some of its ideas to life through our founda tion. We are focusing on three main areas where racial eq uity is so lacking: financial equity, including housing and small-business ownership; social equity, including ac cess to quality and affordable education, and strengthening historically Black colleges and universities; and civic equity, including voter rights and access to the ballot.
Our work developing the Greenwood Initiative is continuing, with the help of Black leaders in every sec tor, and we are now more resolved — and optimistic — than ever. The uprising that has happened in communities across the country has been a powerful testament to just how hungry Americans of all colors are for leadership on issues of racial justice and equality. Change can’t wait for the next president and Congress.
So even as Trump straps his political life to the backs of Confederates and segrega tionists, something good can come of his visit to Tulsa — if more Americans talk about Greenwood and the injustices it represents, and if we turn that dialogue into concrete actions in our own lives and communities, including exer cising our power at the voting booth.
That’s the path we must walk, together, to finally re deem the true promise of Juneteenth.

Assemblyman Walter T. Mosley wins seat
Incumbent Assem
blyman Walter
Mosley (Fort Green, Clinton Hill, Pros pect Heights, Crown Heights) won in a dis trict that overlaps with the senate district.
According to the un official results Mosley received 7,301 votes (52.36%) to Forrest’s 6,606 (47.37%).
“I’m honored to win and have both the Dem ocratic Party and Working Families Party line in the general election. We’ve accomplished a lot in strengthening tenant laws and dealing with the issue of police misconduct and we have more to do,” said Mos ley. “I look forward to continuing the dialogue with those who voted for me, but more impor tantly with the people

that didn’t vote for me as I represent everybody in the 57th district.”
The upstart Dem ocratic Socialists of America (DSA) contin ued to show their muscle in Brooklyn tonight as Jabari Brisport ap pears to have enough votes to overcome and mail-in ballot votes to win the Democratic pri mary for the 25th District state senate seat. The seat opened up with the retirement of State Sen. Velma
nette Montgomery
(D-Fort Greene, Boe rum Hill, Red Hook, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Sunset Park, Gowanus, Park Slope). As Brook lyn, with the exception of parts of Southern Brooklyn, is a one-par ty borough, the Democratic Primary is for all practical purposes the election that decides who will be elected in the November general election.
According to the un official Board of Election (BOE) results, Brisport had 52.70% or 17,113 votes to second-place finisher Assemblywom
an Tremaine Wright
who had 40% or 13,301 votes. Jason Salmon garnered 1,857 votes.
“It’s a new day in New York Politics and working-class people are taking charge of our government to build a future where all of us can not only survive but thrive,” said Brisport’s campaign manager Fainan Lakha.
While Brisport ap peared to win handily in a rapidly gentrifying district, his DSA coun terpart Phara Forrest narrowly lost to

According to the un official BOE results, Salazar had 14,557 votes or 85% of the electorate to her challenger, Andy Marte’s 2,512 votes.
In one of the more interesting races, Rich ardson ran against former State Sen. Jesse Hamilton and was the only incumbent run ning who did not get the endorsement of the Kings County Demo cratic Party. This hardly mattered, though, as she soundly beat Ham ilton in getting over 71% percent of the vote (8,570) to Hamilton’s 3,447 votes.
Also retaining the Democratic nomination were veteran Assem
