New York City has a long and eventful history. Over 400 years, we have had our ups and downs. But throughout, New Yorkers’ resiliency has prevailed and our city’s fundamental values have remained constant. We are stronger because of our diversity. Every single person who decides to build their life here becomes part of our city’s economy and vibrant culture. We are all New Yorkers together: anything that affects one of us, affects us all.
We know that the present moment is one of great change and that there may be heightened anxiety among many of our communities. I want to reassure you: our city’s government and its hundreds of thousands public servants are here for you, working around the clock. Please continue to make use of the many resources that New York City offers.
