Velázquez on Passing of Activist Harry Wieder
Washington, DC –Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) commented on the passing of New York City Activist Harry Wieder:
“The passing of Harry Wieder is a great loss for our community. In overcoming many obstacles in his own life, Harry became a tenacious champion for improving and strengthening our community. A tireless advocate for gay and disabled rights and for improving our transportation system, his many achievements brought dignity and equality to people’s lives, while making our City a better place to live and work. He will be sorely missed, and my thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family during this difficult time.”
