Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani

Yesterday we brought the spirit of the beautiful game to life at the Cost of Living Classic, where New Yorkers came together for an afternoon of free soccer and friendly rivalries.

Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.

New Yorkers experience the abundant contributions of our Eastern European neighbors every day. As we pair syrniki with sour cream in Brighton Beach, look in wonder at a Chagall painting at MoMA and banter with babushkas in Rego Park.

For more than 50 years, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) has championed a proud tradition of labor organizing, amplified Latino voices within the AFL-CIO, and united workers in the fight for dignity, collective power and solidarity.

Happy first day of early voting, New York!

Don’t forget: - Early voting lasts from October 24th to November 1st. - Your last chance to vote is on Election Day: Tuesday, November 3rd. - Voting is your fundamental right and no one — especially not the government — should stand in the way of you exercising it.

In 1972, a group of Harlem Renaissance cultural icons gathered at Duke Ellington's house. The afternoon was captured on 16mm film by William Greaves, but the footage remained unedited in a vault for 50 years until David Greaves restored his father's project, releasing the documentary it 2026.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

When we see that traffic and injury-causing crashes spike on the streets around a warehouse — that's exploitation. And it makes our streets less safe. We stand with working people, not corporations that profit by denying them their rights.

These NYCHA residents have fought to reopen their senior center for 25 years. Today, we're delivering — along with a renovated community center, child care center and modernized apartments for 5,000 residents.

I joined Council Member Amanda Farías, advocates and survivors for an important conversation about how we can build a safer city for all New Yorkers, on our streets and in our homes.

This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.  We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.

We prevent violence by directly listening to those who experience it. For years, the Crisis Management System (CMS) has successfully reduced crime across our city by empowering trusted community leaders to mediate conflict and lower tensions before violence can occur.

On April 5, 1977, people with disabilities occupied government buildings across the country with simple demands: access to education, jobs, and public spaces. It has been fifty years since the Section 504 sit-ins, but the fight for those with disabilities continues.

This weekend, New Yorkers with disabilities and their neighbors marched and rolled in the annual Disability Pride Parade to honor that fight — and celebrate the city New Yorkers with disabilities have helped build.

Navigating changes to Medicaid and SNAP shouldn't mean navigating a maze to get help. Today, we're launching HART, a new outreach team helping New Yorkers keep their health coverage, food benefits and get support on everything from housing assistance to eviction prevention.
