Summary

इस प्रस्ताव से New York City चार्टर में परिचयात्मक टेक्स्ट जिसे प्रिएम्बल या प्रस्तावना कहते हैं जोड़ी जाएगी। यह प्रस्तावना शहर की सरकार के लिए सभी न्यूयॉर्क वासियों के लिए न्याय और अपक्षपात को प्रोत्साहन देने के लिए मार्गदर्शी सिद्धांत के रूप में काम करेगा।

अगर यह प्रस्ताव पारित हो जाता है:

  • The city charter would add a preamble since it does not currently have one.
  • The preamble would acknowledge historical injustices, embrace the city’s diversity, recognize what residents need to thrive, and establish values grounded in equity and justice that shape our city.
  • The preamble would guide how the city government operates.
