NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani: I Will Increase Funding for Anti-Hate Crime Programing by 800%

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: "You know, I hear them and I hear that fear when I speak to Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And ultimately, Jewish New Yorkers deserve to be protected. They deserve to be safe. And as the next mayor of the city, that's what I will do. And I've heard, especially when we speak about anti-Semitism, how do we go beyond just talking about it? How do we actually tackle it? And that's why at the heart of that proposal to create a Department of Community Safety is a commitment to increase funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800 percent. The very programming we've seen be effective at countering the rise in these kinds of attacks."
