Today we launched the Coney Island BID for cleaner streets, stronger small businesses, and real investment in working families year-round.

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.
After years of scandal at City Hall, New Yorkers deserve a government they can actually trust.
That’s why I nominated Nadia Shihata — a former prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York — to lead the Department of Investigation. She’s taken on organized crime and corruption before. Now she’ll help us build a City Hall that answers to the people.
Delivery workers keep our city running, rain or shine. I’m grateful for all they do—and for the chance to meet with them and Deputy Mayor Julie Su as we work to protect their wages and tips.
Loving New York means loving the over 180,000 small businesses that power its neighborhoods.

Summer might be a few months away, but we're already looking for lifeguards to keep our pools and beaches safe for all New Yorkers. You have until February 28th to sign up to become a city lifeguard for this summer. Go to https://t.co/D2EfSIAyOj for more info.
Making New York affordable means investing in spaces where communities can come together and thrive.
Today, we’re opening the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in East Flatbush, honoring the first Black woman elected to Congress.
This state-of-the-art public facility includes a pool, fitness equipment, a media lab, a teaching kitchen, and space for community gatherings—and it’s affordable, with free membership for all New Yorkers 24 and under.
Thrilled to stand alongside New York’s Cutest to announce our new request for information for 2-K and 3-K providers. This is the first step toward universal childcare, so I brought in the experts.

I kicked off Black History Month in Corona at the home of Louis Armstrong, who lived in our city for more than 30 years. Walking through his house and hearing how much New York meant to him was a powerful reminder of what this city owes to Black artists and culture. At a time when Black history is being erased, places like the Louis Armstrong House matter more than ever. That’s why I’m proud to partner with @ArmstrongHouse to offer free admission to all visitors on Saturday, February 7th.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).
As of 1 PM, residents in Bedford Stuyvesant affected by the power outage can go to PS 309, 794 Monroe Street.
