Little Italy is Back on the NYC Immigrant Enclaves Map 🇮🇹 🏙️

After backlash from the CSJ and other Italian American organizations due to the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affair's exclusion of Little Italy on the recently released "Immigrant Enclaves" Map, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has responded to ensure that Little Italy will be added to the map. The CSJ applauds this decision, while calling on the city to recognize all historic Italian American communities.

"We are grateful that Mayor Mamdani and the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs listened to the concerns of the Italian American community and corrected the omission of Little Italy from the Immigrant Enclaves map," said CSJ President John A. Fratta. "However, we remain disappointed that this correction came only after significant pushback and that other historic and thriving Italian American communities continue to be excluded from the map," he added.

The CSJ remains committed to advocating for accurate representation of Italian American history, culture, and contributions, and will continue working with community organizations and government leaders to promote a more complete and inclusive understanding of New York City’s diverse immigrant communities.
