New York City remains a beacon for all who come to our shores. And we will continue to uphold these values and reach out a helping hand to those in need. This is the New York City way — and these are the New Yorkers leading the way 👇
Cities like New York, EL Paso, Chicago, Houston and L.A. cannot be left to shoulder a national crisis alone. But we will do our part because that's the New York City way
@NYCMayor
It is time for that to be the American way again.
Improving access to equitable human services for all New Yorkers is a top priority.
