DOJ to probe NYC Mayor Mamdani's ‘racial equity' plan
[Just The News] Mamdani on Monday released the city's first-ever racial equity plan, which links his administration's "affordability" agenda with social justice.

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to review a "racial equity" plan unveiled by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday, with a top federal prosecutor suggesting that the "fishy" plan could run afoul of federal anti-discrimination laws.

Mamdani on Monday released the city's first-ever racial equity plan, which links his administration's "affordability" agenda with social justice after a related report claimed that disinvestment, exclusion from homeownership, unequal access to health care and employment have disproportionately impacted "black and brown" New Yorkers.

"Together, these reports establish a framework for how our city will both measure affordability and plan for the future," Mamdani said. "These reports make one thing clear: we cannot tackle systemic racial inequity without confronting the affordability crisis head-on, and we cannot solve the cost-of-living crisis without dismantling systemic racial inequity."

The True Cost of Living Measure, one of the reports released Monday, shows that nearly two-thirds of Big Apple residents don't earn enough income to cover basic expenses. Nearly 62% of New Yorkers are unable to meet basic living expenses, the report found. The average family needs about $40,000 more per year to make ends meet, according to the report's authors.
