On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other.

there is no hierarchy of citizenship.
there are only citizens. All citizens are imbued with the same legal protections and rights in the U.S.
Some citizens born, some citizens are naturalized, both are fully and equally citizens.
the end.
