A big win for the people of New York

That is an issue that we take very seriously

If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn alongside you, and never, not for a second, hide from you

My administration will also be marked by a city government that will be relentless in its efforts to combat hate and division

Protecting Jewish New Yorkers is going to be a focus of my administration

Palestinian liberation is at the core of my politics

We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe. I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will govern as a democratic socialist.

I stand alongside over one million New Yorkers who voted for this day nearly two months ago, and I stand just as resolutely alongside those who did not.

My fellow New Yorkers, today begins a new era.

We must distinguish between antisemitism and criticism of the Israeli government

The work, my friends, has only just begun.

They want to know if the left can govern.

What I found time and time again is that affordability was not something that needed any translation in young people’s lives.

New York will always welcome immigrants, and I will fight each and every day to protect, support, and celebrate our immigrant brothers and sisters.

ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent.

We can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.

I’d protect First Amendment rights while making it clear nothing justifies calling for 'death to' anyone.

Do you want to spend the next year fulfilling the agenda at the heart of this movement, or do you want to spend it defending the caricatures of that movement?

This is not a question of the ballot box, of who would you rather vote for.

I will meet with anyone, I will speak to everyone, so long as it can stand to benefit an economic agenda for New Yorkers.

I still believe Trump is a fascist and a despot, but I viewed our first face-to-face meeting as an opportunity to work together.

I thought again and again about what it would mean for New Yorkers if we could establish a productive relationship.

Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe.

And that's something that I've said in the past. I say it today.

And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.
