T’ruah means a shout, a battle cry for justice, a joyful noise that calls us toward collective liberation.
I was honored to celebrate the work of Rabbi Jill Jacobs and @truahrabbis at their gala. This year’s honorees, including New York’s own Gili Getz, remind us that solidarity is a practice.
As Tehillim teaches: “Fortunate are the ones who know this joyful shout.”
Grateful to be in this struggle for justice alongside you.
I'm pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we'll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!
Good news, New York: Storefront vacancies are at a post-pandemic low, and we're continuing to unlock opportunities for more small businesses to open and existing small businesses to thrive.
Business up, vacancies down!
Storefront vacancy declined for the fourth straight quarter citywide and for the tenth straight quarter in Manhattan.
Which of the city’s 76 new tea and coffee shops are you trying next?
Huge news for the terrible twos: 2-K applications open today!
@GovHochul, @QnsBPRichards, @CMRitaJoseph, @CMShekarK and I joined New York's Cutest in the Rockaways this morning, where we are launching some of the first free child care seats for two-year olds this fall.

New York moves fast — our buses should too.
The new 34th Street busway will relieve bus congestion on one of our City's busiest corridors, delivering faster, more reliable bus service and a safer, more efficient street for everyone who depends on it. https://t.co/F5FzfTWs5f
We’ve helped 223,000 New Yorkers maintain access to their food assistance benefits. But the work is far from over.
We’re expanding a citywide campaign to reach the remaining 40,000 New Yorkers who are still at risk of losing their food assistance.
No one in the wealthiest city in the richest country on Earth should go hungry. Call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) to protect your benefits.
SNAP recipients, you could lose your benefits in 3 days if you haven’t submitted proof of compliance with the federal government’s new food stamp work requirements.
Find out whether you’re subject to the new requirements — and how to stay compliant — by calling 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) or visiting https://t.co/YaoetatG7v
Yesterday we dropped 2,500 $25 tickets to this weekend's pre-World Cup games, and it's no surprise they sold out quickly. New Yorkers deserve to celebrate the World Cup without breaking the bank.
That's why we made sure all FIFA Fan Fests are 100% free, and created a cultural passport and map of affordable ways to explore New York City between matches.
You don't have to get stadium seats to experience the magic of the World Cup. Go to https://t.co/GI5Vplua37 to start planning your summer of soccer.
The World Cup teams are warming up, and so are our affordability initiatives.
We worked with @NYGov@NJGov@FWC26NYNJ & @Roadto26usa to secure a $25 price tag on 2,500 tickets for this weekend’s pre-World Cup ‘friendly’ matches at https://t.co/3bf1nl3cvP — and Sunday’s batch is already sold out!
The joy of the World Cup belongs to every New Yorker, and we want families to know they can cross the river to watch world-class soccer before this historic tournament kicks off in our backyard.

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City.
Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation. https://t.co/Ptoy3nAKz4
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at https://t.co/Wt1RgEfgey is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.
The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.
Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?
Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
https://t.co/Nb8rOAGO4T is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.
Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.
