NYC Public Advocate's Statement on the Ballot Proposal Vote

"Passing Proposal One is a vital victory for New Yorkers, strengthening reproductive freedom and more broadly codifying anti-discrimination protections. With continued conservative attacks on fundamental rights and marginalized communities, I am grateful for this result and the work that went into it.

"At the same time, I am disappointed that most of the mayor’s self-serving charter amendment process and proposals – and the misinformation that drove them – are also poised to pass. This was a power grab by a mayor in whom trust has been shaken to say the least. I'm also concerned about the long-term consequences of this process. Despite this political maneuver by the mayor, I will continue to work to hold City Hall accountable, both to the people of our city and to the standards we set."
