Zohran Mamdani on Civil Rights

NY State Rep and 2025 NYC Mayoral candidate

 


Root out antisemitism; fund hate-crime prevention

Q: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitic incidents?

MAYOR-ELECT ZOHRAN MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor of New York City and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers, to not only protect them across the five boroughs, but to celebrate and cherish them. And what that looks like is rooting out antisemitism. It looks like increasing funding for hate-crime prevention programs by 800%. And it also looks like ensuring that we have NYPD protection outside of synagogues and temples, especially on the High Holy Days. And I want to just say recently on Yom Kippur there was a horrific antisemitic attack in Manchester. A rabbi in New York City reached out to me and said, "Could you ensure that there's additional police protection outside of the synagogue for today?" I said, "absolutely."

Make New York an LGBTQIA+ sanctuary city

The cost of living crisis confronting working class people across the city hits the LGBTQIA+ community particularly hard, with higher rates of unemployment and homelessness than the rest of the city. The Mamdani administration will protect LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers by expanding and protecting gender-affirming care citywide, making NYC an LGBTQIA+ sanctuary city, and creating the Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs.
