Pam Bondi may want to distract from reality, but the facts are clear: the evidence consistently shows that cities with sanctuary laws are safer than those without them. When residents feel comfortable reporting crime and cooperating with local law enforcement, we are all safer,…

I am deeply disappointed by reports of Columbia University’s outrageous and embarrassing $200 million capitulation to the Trump Administration’s repugnant extortion campaign. Let’s be clear: no investigation was ever conducted by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil…
Our Maternal Health Steering Committee met at City Hall today, building on our work advancing solutions to end New York's maternal mortality crisis. This work is lifesaving, and we will not stop until every mother gets the care she deserves.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a gifted actor, director, and artist whose work left a lasting impact on television and culture. My thoughts are with his loved ones as they mourn his passing. May his memory continue to inspire.

The State Appellate Division affirmed that the Council’s CityFHEPS reform laws must be implemented. Mayor Adams must stop blocking help for New Yorkers by implementing these laws, and his administration should follow the recommendations in our new report to improve its…
