NYC Mayor Mamdani Doubles Funding for PATH Anti-Semitism Program
What happened
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a plan to double funding for the Partners Against the Hate (PATH) program, allocating $6.4 million to combat anti-Semitism. PATH was originally launched by Bill de Blasio in 2021. The program includes the Arab American Association of New York, which provides subgrants to the Council on American Islamic Relations’ New York City chapter.

Why it matters
The funding increase represents a direct allocation of public money by the City of New York to PATH. This action draws scrutiny regarding the use of PATH funds, as the Arab American Association of New York uses some of its PATH funding to support the Council on American Islamic Relations.
