"County Executive Ed Day & Human Rights Commissioner Spencer Chiimbwe strongly condemn the racist text messages, which recall painful echoes of our nation’s history of oppression and injustice, being sent to Black Americans across the country, including here in the Hudson Valley.

We stand firmly against any words or actions that seek to divide or dehumanize. 

Now more than ever, we must unite to uphold the principles set forth in our Constitution, honoring the work of those who championed liberty and equality, and speak out against hatred in all its forms."
