Reduce hate crimes (anti-Jewish, anti-LGBTQ)

Q1 2026: hate crimes UP 11.7% citywide, with 55% being anti-Jewish. Buffer-zone-veto split decision (schools 30-19 vetoed, worship 44-5 became law). FY27 Exec Budget invests $26M in Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes — a 9× increase from the $3M annual baseline. Phylisa Wisdom (named exec director Feb) leads. Outcome metric (crime stats) has not moved; spending commitment is the largest single-line increase fulfilling the Jewish-voter outreach pledge. [2026-05-18 update] $26M pledge restated at the Shavuot/Jewish American Heritage Month reception at Gracie Mansion — the same event UJA-Federation, JCRC-NY, Commissioner Tisch, Comptroller Levine, and MBP Hoylman-Sigal boycotted over the Nakba video. Mamdani framed the increase as 800%+ above baseline and cited Jews as 12% of NYC residents but >50% of hate-crime victims. Spending committed; outcome metric (Q1 +11.7%) still moving wrong direction — status stays broken.
