"On the occasion of its sesquicentennial, I am pleased to recognize this time-honored nonprofit organization that has fought by my side to help make New York a more affordable, equitable, inclusive, and just city for all who live here."
"For a century and a half, we have stood alongside immigrants, families, tenants, and individuals who cannot afford to hire private counsel—fighting to ensure that justice is a right, not a privilege."
During his 66th and 67th days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani advanced two significant initiatives. He announced the first phase of his 2K child care rollout, providing free full-day care to 2,000 toddlers with priority placement in neighborhoods facing the greatest economic need and child care gaps. Simultaneously, Mamdani issued an official proclamation honoring the Legal Aid Society's 150th anniversary, recognizing the organization's commitment to providing public defense and civil legal services to New Yorkers unable to afford private counsel. The celebration includes a monthlong series of events, beginning with a historical exhibit titled "Delivering Justice: 150 Years of The Legal Aid Society." These actions reflect Mamdani's focus on equity and accessibility in city services.
