Mayor Zohran Mamdani's 375-page 'Preliminary Racial Equity Plan' highlights a significant racial wealth gap, with White households averaging over $200,000 and Black households under $20,000. The plan aims to restore diversity, equity, and inclusion programs while reallocating resources to address disparities in income, housing, and education.

The initiative marks a historic evaluation of city agencies through a racial equity lens, addressing systemic racism and its historical roots.
