State Senator Zellnor Myrie announced his mayoral campaign's Black Agenda, which aims to rectify historical inequalities faced by Black New Yorkers. The plan includes measures such as expanding homeownership, funding maternal health facilities in predominantly Black areas, establishing a Black business accelerator fund, and ensuring climate resilience. Myrie emphasizes the need for an agenda that genuinely supports and protects Black residents, especially in light of recent challenges posed by the Trump administration's policies. His initiatives focus on creating sustainable opportunities and addressing the historic disenfranchisement of Black communities in New York City.
Black New Yorkers built New York City, and we keep the city running. Yet, despite our contributions, Black New Yorkers still struggle to get ahead in the city we call home.
It's critical that New York City's next mayor have an agenda to protect and improve the livelihood of Black residents of our great city.
The mayoral hopeful said his plan will help expand Black home ownership, fund maternal health centers in majority-Black neighborhoods, create a Black business accelerator fund and ensure climate resiliency in Black communities.
Adding to the challenges is the Trump administration's attack on Black Americans by erasing legislation that address racial wealth gaps and improve education access.
