Voters in New York City easily approved a ballot measure which requires the city to establish a cost of living metric that will “provide a clearer picture of the Racial wealth gap” in New York City, which will “guide the City’s decisions as it develops and administers programs and services.” Also passing approved the amendment of the city charter to establish an Office of Racial Equity that will be headed by a chief equity officer. The newly created office will be tasked with a racial-equity commission that will guide the city’s racial justice priorities and require all city agencies to produce a racial-equity plan every two years.
