Dear Fellow New Yorker,
This past week, Mayor Adams was honored to join our vibrant Bangladeshi community in Jackson Heights for their annual Bangladesh Day Parade. New York City is proud to be home to the largest Bangladeshi community in the nation, and we celebrate their contributions every day.
Mayor Adams also hosted a Community Conversation town hall in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. The event provided a platform for the East Flatbush community to voice their concerns to the Mayor, members of his administration, and city agencies. This continues the Mayor's commitment to directly engage with the community. Finally, with the holiday season upon us, we wish all who celebrate a peaceful Holy Week, Happy Easter, and Happy Passover.
For the latest updates, please follow CAU on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure to check out the Mayor's "Week In Review" video below.
All the best, Fred Kreizman Commissioner, Community Affairs Unit Office of the Mayor |

Mayor Adams, NYPD Commissioner Tisch Launch new Quality of Life Division to Enhance Public Safety and Community Trust
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch announced the formation of the NYPD’s new Quality of Life Division — a citywide public safety initiative focused on enhancing trust between communities and the police while addressing everyday issues that impact New Yorkers' sense of safety and well-being. The Quality of Life Division will unite specially-trained officers from various existing community-oriented roles — including neighborhood coordination officers, youth coordination officers, and traffic safety officers — into a citywide effort to tackle persistent quality-of-life concerns.
Mayor Adams and Chancellor Aviles-Ramos Announce Hiring Over 3,700 new Teachers at Nearly 750 Schools as Part of Upcoming Mayoral Executive Budget
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Public Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos announced that nearly 750 schools, as part of Mayor Adams' Fiscal Year 2026 Executive Budget, will be given the authority to support the hiring of over 3,700 teachers across the public school system to reduce class sizes. Following a careful joint review of hundreds of schools' proposed plans by New York City Public Schools, the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), and the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators (CSA), this investment supports increased compliance with the class size law for the 2025-2026 school year, utilizing a school-driven framework for class size reduction.
Mayor Adams and Veterans' Services Commissioner Hendon Announce 2 Million Meal Milestone Through Public-Private Partnership With New York State and HelloFresh
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Veterans’ Services Commissioner James Hendon announced a milestone of the “Meals with Meaning: Veterans Feeding Veterans” initiative, with the distribution of more than 2 million meals to New York City veterans since the program began five years ago. Thanks to the tremendous generosity of HelloFresh, this effort has effectively addressed food insecurity among veterans and miliary service members by providing them with free healthy meal options. First initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, the initiative has grown into a robust public-private partnership between the Department of Veterans’ Services, the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, Cazar Logistics, The Campaign Against Hunger, Pratt Industries, Black Veterans for Social Justice, and other local nonprofit partners.
