The Commission on Gender Equity in New York City has called for Mayor Eric Adams to resign if he fails to provide a clear strategy for defending the rights of transgender individuals, women, and immigrants against threats from the Trump administration. The commission, which has lost confidence in Adams' commitment to sanctuary policies, demanded a plan within a week to ensure protections for various marginalized groups, including those seeking gender-affirming care and access to reproductive health services. Failure to meet these demands could lead to commissioner resignations as well.
A majority of New York City's Commission on Gender Equity has called for Mayor Adams to resign unless he outlines a strategy to protect transgender and immigrant rights.
Sixteen commissioners stated they have lost confidence in the Mayor's ability to defend city sanctuary policies in response to threats from the Trump administration.
The commissioners demanded a detailed plan within a week addressing the rights of transgender New Yorkers, immigrants, and access to reproductive health services.
Without assurance to uphold his promises, the commission indicated that Mayor Adams must resign, a stance supported by the group's members.
