INDEPENDENCE DAY — AND WHY I CAN’T SLEEP THROUGH IT ANYMORE
Jason S. Arnold for New York Governor
July 4, 2025
Today is supposed to be about freedom.
But for too many New Yorkers… it doesn’t feel like we’re free.
We’re not free when parents are afraid to speak at school board meetings.
We’re not free when social media silences truth while protecting lies.
We’re not free when veterans beg for housing, when working families drown in taxes, or when justice only finds the rich.
I’m not running for Governor because it’s fun.
I’m running because this country — this state — is breaking in ways most politicians pretend not to see.
I’ve seen what it looks like to lose everything.
To sit in a jail cell. To watch your brother die.
To live in a world where nobody fights for people like you.
That pain either hardens you… or it wakes you up.
It woke me up.
BETTR was born from that.
Not just a platform — a rebellion against censorship.
A space to speak without fear.
A way to connect truth-tellers in a system that buries them.
But I knew that wasn’t enough.
If we want New York to heal…
If we want to raise kids in a state worth calling home again…
Then we need more than posts.
We need power. Real, public power — held by people who remember what it’s like to be powerless.
This is personal.
Because freedom should mean something.
It should mean that no matter where you come from, no matter what you’ve been through — you matter.
If we forget that, then today is just noise.
Fireworks covering up broken promises.
But if we remember it — if we reclaim it —
Then Independence Day can mean something again.
Not just for the wealthy.
Not just for the connected.
But for the forgotten. The silenced. The survivors.
I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.
And I won’t stop fighting until New York is BETTR — for all of us.
Happy Independence Day.
Let’s earn it. Let’s fight for it. Let’s live like it still matters.
