Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

This is the story of how a group of perfectly ordinary neighbors took on one of the worst landlords in New York. And won. Introducing, the Union of Pinnacle Tenants: the short film. Watch the full film: youtu.be/h5dvGKI26ZA
We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.
When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.
Every nation’s independence starts with people demanding the right to shape their own future. Today, I joined thousands of Ecuadorian New Yorkers in Queens for the largest Ecuadorian parade in the United States, celebrating 217 years since Ecuador’s First Cry of Independence.
New York, we’re building tenant power across the city. Visit organize.nyc.gov to join a canvass.
We're using City-owned land to build the affordable homes New Yorkers need.
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.
Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
Why so serious? Today I surprised a group of young New Yorkers working at the CityArts Bronx mural project for the summer. Their task? Giving the Bronx's famous Joker Stairs a new chapter as the Shakespeare steps.
This summer, New York City’s young people are designing the future of soccer.
When two columns buckled on the 21st floor of 235 E 42nd Street, City workers jumped into action. Yesterday I invited the DOB and FDNY first responders to City Hall and thanked them for their bravery. We’re fortunate to have dedicated civil servants like these.
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.
The most protected tenant is an organized tenant. Yesterday, we welcomed the 8609 Bay 16th St. Tenant Association as the 100th tenant union to organize with the City's support.
This November, voters will decide on a number of proposed changes to the City Charter recommended by the Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE). Swipe through for an overview of each proposal, and then visit nyc.gov/coge to learn more before Election Day.
The promise of New York City is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty: this place would welcome anyone seeking refuge or a better life.
Today I honored the life of Detective First Grade Didarul Islam, alongside the NYPD, his family, and the Parkchester community.
New Yorkers: Tonight's forecast calls for potentially life-threatening flooding, especially for those living in basement apartments and neighborhoods that have flooded before.
There's a new Sheriff in town. Sheriff Edwin Raymond has dedicated his life to protecting the people of New York while bettering the institutions keeping us safe.
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.
¡Qué lo que Nueva York! What a privilege it was to be the Padrino of honor at today’s Gran parada Dominicana del Bronx, where thousands of New Yorkers came together to celebrate Dominican heritage.

36 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This came after decades of advocacy from the Disability Rights movement and changed our country and our City for the better.
