Officials only, in order.
As a diverse city, I’m concerned about antisemitic people writ large. And of course, Arabs are ethnically Semitic. Arabs and even Aramaic are Semitics, and, you know, there’s— these are Semitic languages, of course. And what we’ve seen is that, um, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all born in the Semitic region.Yusef Salaam · Chair · District 939:26rec. 2

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
