Dozens of community advocates and local leaders gathered for a rally on the steps of City Hall Friday morning to call on the city to increase funding for the New York City Commission on Human Rights.
The group, which included Queens Council Member Nantasha Williams and representatives from the Fair Chance for Housing Coalition, the New York Human Rights Law Working Group, the Legal Aid Society, the Anti-Violence Project, and Make the Road New York, called on Mayor Eric Adams to add $6 million to CCHR’s fiscal year 2026 budget.
