Victory Speech at 86th street

This is significant for Coyle Street because their victory is a precedent for ours. Although the communities are separated, we share many of the people — we have relatives over there, friends who grew up with us, elders who watched both blocks rise and fall. Their win shows that when we speak with one voice, we can unite as one. What happened on 86th is not just their story — it’s a signal that our fight is not in vain. If they can do it, so can we.
