Sharing a message from National…

To the moms, aunties, grandmas, bonus moms, godmothers, and the women who stepped up when they didn’t have to ❤️

Thank you for the love, the life lessons, the “did you eat yet?” texts, the sacrifices nobody saw, and the strength that somehow carried everybody through.

Today is for the women who make a way out of no way every single time. Happy Mother’s Day to the ones holding it all together with grace, humor, prayer, and a little side-eye too 😭💐

Rev. Al Sharpton is relocating the headquarters of the National Action Network to a historic firehouse theater in Harlem in a move that blends civil rights activism with cultural preservation. The organization has purchased the Faison Firehouse Theater on Hancock Place, with plans to transform it into the “House of Justice Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Workshop,” honoring Sharpton’s longtime mentor and fellow civil rights leader.

The move signals more than just a change of address. For Sharpton, it represents a deliberate effort to maintain Harlem’s cultural and political identity at a time when the neighborhood is undergoing rapid demographic change, National Today reports. Once a historic center of Black culture, Harlem has seen a steady decline in its Black population as rising costs and development reshape the community. Sharpton hopes the new headquarters will serve as both a symbolic and functional anchor for Black leadership and influence in the area.
