We are looking for an operator to help run NYC Groceries, which will offer a core basket of goods at 30 percent below market prices. @mayor.nyc.gov’s administration has shown since January that government can and should make life better in tangible ways.

The cost of groceries has become one of the defining challenges of the affordability crisis. That's why our municipal grocery stores will offer a 30% discount on the grocery staples New Yorkers depend on — from meat to produce to dairy.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Mayor Mamdani holds up bananas with a 30% off sticker on them. Shelves of produce and canned goods, all with 30% off stickers on them. New Yorkers clap at the press conference announcing the 30% discount for municipal grocery stores.

World Cup matches are taking a breather, but tomorrow we’re back in action. The semifinals are underway, and with just 6 days left in the tournament, now’s the time to plan where you’ll watch, eat, celebrate, and soak up the rest of the beautiful game.

If it’s easy to sign up with one click, it should be just as easy to cancel with one click. That’s why New York City is becoming the first city in the nation to implement a Click-to-Cancel Rule.

It should be as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one. The advertised price should be the price you pay. New Yorkers are losing up to $162 million a year & countless hours of precious time at the hands of companies who count on people not to fight back. That stops now.

Making history by learning from history. Professor Daniel Wortel-London has studied 150 years of economic development in NYC and sat down with us to talk about all the tools we have to build a strong economy for all if we’re imaginative enough to use them.

It's the dream of every historian to help those making history. Today I presented on the past, present, and future of economic policy in NYC to the Deputy Mayor of Economic Justice @juliesulabor.bsky.social, @waleedshahid.bsky.social, and other stars from the Zohran administration. :)

As we continue working to address the affordability crisis that has pushed 200,000 Black New Yorkers to leave our city over the last 20 years, it is critical that we bring the struggles of every New Yorker to the heart and solutions of our politics.
