Latin Party at Racist Aaron Schlossberg's UWS Apartment 1 Favorite
Action as a response to viral video of Attorney Aaron Schlossberg's racist rant against Spanish speaking customers and employees at a midtown restaurant. The "Latin Party" included food, music, and dance celebrating Latina/o culture in the US.
From FB event page:
"Assuming all Spanish speakers are undocumented is not only ignorant but a little sad. It's also a little sad that Mr.Schlossberg thinks all Hispanics are on Welfare.
However, hispanics are not sad people and we will gladly educate you on our culture and language by throwing a big fiesta outside your office! ♥"

Estribillo:
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando se alegran,
Cielito lindo, los corazones.
(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Sing and do not cry
Because singing cheers up,
Pretty little darling, our hearts.
