Dear New Yorkers,
Today is Staten Island's last day for City Hall in Your Borough. It was a terrific week with plenty of great events and announcements.
Today also marks the beginning of the Weekend of Faith. The City has teamed up with religious organizations from around the 5 boroughs to encourage more people to get vaccinated. This group of over 50 organizations -that are as diverse as NYC itself - hopes that people from all communities and faiths will join the fight to end Covid and get the shot. To find out more go to Nyc.gov/wof2021.

Commissioner, Mayor's Community Affairs Unit

Make Your Voice Heard in the NYC Environmental Justice for All Report by September 5!
The NYC Environmental Justice Advisory Board, the Mayor's Office of Climate and Sustainability, and an interagency working group of 19 city agencies are working on the City's first comprehensive study of environmental justice, and want to hear from New Yorkers. Climate change hurts everyone, but our communities of color and low-income communities have borne the brunt. Our climate and environmental solutions MUST fight this unfairness, and the Environmental Justice for All Report is a crucial first step in that process. The Draft Scope of the Environmental Justice Report was released on August 5, and was shaped by feedback from over 1,000 New Yorkers on the climate, environmental, and health issues that impact their communities. We need to hear from you to ensure that the scope represents your concerns and lived experiences.
Learn more about the draft scope and submit your comments to make your voice heard.
