“When we work together, we lead together.”

The Italian American Action Committee (NFP) and the NYS Italian American PAC proudly recognize and honor Black History Month.

We celebrate the leadership, resilience, and lasting contributions of Black Americans, who have strengthened our communities, advanced civil rights, and shaped our nation's future.

As Italian Americans, we understand the power of perseverance and the importance of standing together across all communities.

Unity is not symbolic; it is actionable.

Different histories, shared values, one stronger New York. 🇮🇹🇺🇸🤝
