My day in New York continues with a mayors roundtable, and bilateral meetings with @NYCMayor and @jaumecollboni. Meetings with more mayors to follow this afternoon.

This is Cadence on her first day of 2-K last week in Jamaica, Queens. Her mom Christine said she was brave and ready to learn.

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 promise of New York City is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty: this place would welcome anyone seeking refuge or a better life.
