As we reflect on the past year, I am extremely proud to have led a City Council that has prioritized helping the most vulnerable of our neighbors — from increasing emergency food assistance to providing job opportunities for our city\u2019s youth to protecting our immigrant communities to increasing our support for Holocaust survivors to $2.5 million through the Elie Wiesel Holocaust Survivors Initiative. \u00a0I look forward to building on our commitment to improving the lives of all New Yorkers in the year to come.<\/p>\n

I wish all \u00a0New Yorkers a\u00a0happy, healthy, and sweet new year! Shanah tovah u\u2019metukah!<\/p>\n
