New York City s small business community has been hit hard by the pandemic, with non-essential businesses forced to close for a period of time, restaurants scaling back service, and a work-from-home mandate that brought foot traffic to a standstill.

Left-Wing Jewish Group Endorses Dianne Morales For New York City Mayor
The announcement marks Jews for Racial and Economic Justice’s first-ever mayoral endorsement and a major pick-up for Morales.
The progressive group Jews for Racial and Economic Justice announced its endorsement of nonprofit leader Dianne Morales for mayor of New York City on Wednesday.
The nod from JFREJ is a coup for Morales, the most left-wing candidate in the race, and a milestone for JFREJ, which has never endorsed in the mayoral race before.
Since New York City Democrats are set to use a ranked-choice voting system in the June 22 primary, JFREJ also issued a dual endorsement of attorney Maya Wiley and city comptroller Scott Stringer for its second choice on the ballot.
