That's why we're building affordable housing, making child care universal, and investing in the services families rely on every day. Because the best investment we can make in our economy is in the people who make this city run.

New York continues to attract talent from around the world — since 2021, more than 500,000 graduates have moved to this city. But if workers can't afford to stay, businesses can't afford to grow.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court stripped away a fundamental Constitutional amendment right and put abortion care out of reach for millions of Americans.

Today, we're sending a different message. With New York State, we are investing $495,000 to expand the NYC Abortion Access Hub, connecting more people to abortion care, medication, transportation, lodging and support services, no matter where they live.

Abortion is health care. Health care is a human right. We're protecting that right in New York City.
For abortion services and care call 1-877-NY2-AHUB

For them to say, 'We went to a NICE Facility today,' as opposed to 'ICE' or, 'NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,' they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy! All it means is adding an 'N' ('National') to “ICE ('Immigration and Customs Enforcement') — A much more prestigious name. Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an 'N' to change the name of 'ICE' to 'NICE?'"
