Like @mychal3ts writes, “The library is always here for you.” That’s why we will always be here for the library —this year, by adding $31.7 million in permanent, baseline funding for our City’s three library systems.
Now, our libraries can hire staff, schedule programming, and better serve New Yorkers without the uncertainty of a discretionary budget.
We’re so happy you’re here, @nypl , @qplnyc , and @bklynlibrary !
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
We’ve removed major hurdles to building affordable housing — a move that will get homes up nearly 2 years faster.
We’re in a race to tackle our housing crisis, because working New Yorkers can’t afford to wait.
We didn’t balance the budget on the backs of working people.
We balanced the budget while investing in working people. In libraries, parks, safer streets and affordable housing.
This is what governing as a Democratic Socialist looks like.
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It’s government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
New York streets belong to New Yorkers, and Soccer Streets are for the kids.
We’re turning the block outside your school into a car-free soccer pitch, playground, and World Cup celebration all at once.
Now until June 26, you’ll find Soccer Streets in front of 50 public schools across all five boroughs. Let’s play!
