Letter from Representative Hakeem Jeffries

Representative Hakeem Jeffries stated in his letter, “During its many years as an organization, Falun Dafa has been an integral and positive part of the lives of many. Not only is it a wide-reaching movement, but it’s practices also have tangible effects on our society. Offering access to many different necessities is important to the thriving of New Yorkers and many more around the globe, so we all are celebrating this anniversary, and we are all appreciative of the work of Mr. Li Hongzhi for his founding of this spiritual practice.”
