Hi John,
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Weekend of Action events to help grow the momentum to elect a Comptroller who puts justice and equity front and center!
Tomorrow night, on the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, Brad is hosting a critical conversation about how the Comptroller’s office can be a partner in the work of advancing racial justice, with three amazing, thoughtful speakers.
Join us tomorrow for a conversation hosted by Brad Lander with Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, author and scholar Heather McGhee, and Albany's Chief City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs. [[link removed]]

The pandemic exposed so many long-standing disparities in our health care, our schools, and our economy. To move forward together towards reopening and recovery, we have to take systemic racism and inequality head on.
This group of leaders are just the right people to be listening to and thinking through hard questions with about how to design and implement policy changes that help undo the ways that exclusion, segregation, and discrimination are built into how our city works.
We'll hear from:
Heather McGee, whose new book Sum of Us explores the economic costs of systemic racism,
Dorcey Applyrs, who has been leading innovative approaches to auditing city agencies for equity, as Albany's Chief City Auditor, a role similar to NYC’s Comptroller.
And Jumaane Williams, who continues to push NYC forward on issues of systemic racism in housing, schools and policing as Public Advocate
