City Comptroller Brad Lander introduced "A Better Deal for Black New Yorkers" on April 26, 2025, focusing on enhancing Black homeownership, entrepreneurial opportunities, and cultural investments. The plan aims to empower Black communities amidst ongoing racial backlash and has garnered support from notable Black leaders. Key components include increasing affordable housing, implementing anti-discrimination measures, and exploring financial support for recent graduates to settle in the city. Lander emphasizes the urgent need to strengthen the contributions of Black New Yorkers to the city's fabric.
New York City can respect, preserve and strengthen its diverse Black communities, even during - especially during - a time of racial backlash from this racist President.
Too often, it feels like Black New Yorkers have done more for New York City than New York City has done for Black New Yorkers - and this is a critical moment to turn it around.
