Assemblymember Steven Raga

We were proud to join the annual Queens Pride Parade, a tradition rooted in our community since 1993.

Queens Pride began in response to the murder of Julio Rivera and a wave of backlash against LGBTQIA+ inclusion in our schools. Out of that pain, Queens organizers built something powerful and lasting.

This is a community I’ve been proud to show up for long before holding elected office, and we’ll keep standing with our neighbors. As LGBTQIA+ people face attacks across the country, we have to keep organizing for a Queens and a New York where everyone can live with dignity, love who they love, access healthcare, afford their homes, and be safe in their neighborhoods.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Every road, bridge, school, transit system, water line, and major project we rely on is built by workers who deserve respect, safety, and power on the job.

That’s why I’m honored to have the support of LIUNA, the Laborers’ International Union of North America, and the LiUNA-NY partnership representing tens of thousands of workers across New York.

LiUNA members are skilled union laborers who build the infrastructure our communities depend on every day, from transportation and schools to water and sewer systems, energy projects, and the buildings that shape our neighborhoods.

I’m grateful to have LiUNA with us in this campaign and proud to stand alongside the workers building a stronger and safer New York.

It was wonderful to join the West Queens Independent Democratic Club in Sunnyside to discuss their priority policies and local community issues. Politics is local so thanks to all the work WQIDC does to inform our neighbors!
