Commission on Racial Equity

CORE is an independent commission created by NYC voters in 2022 to represent community needs in the city's racial equity planning process. It publicly reviews the citywide Racial Equity Plan, tracks agency compliance, and proposes priorities to address racial disparities across city services. This is the community's seat at the table for racial equity policy. While the Mayor's Office writes the Racial Equity Plan, CORE is supposed to ensure communities actually have input and that agencies follow through -- think of it as the independent auditor of the city's equity promises.
