New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio this week announced a new racial justice commission which will make policy recommendations to “dismantle structural racism for all New Yorkers,” but not until he is a lame duck mayor after the city’s November mayoral election.
The 11-member commission comprised of policy experts, nonprofit leaders, activists, and academics will have the “power to put forth permanent, transformative ideas for our government and our city,” the mayor said at a Tuesday press conference announcing the initiative, calling it “the first commission of its kind” in the country.
