The Rev. Michael Blake, the Jamaican-American candidate for New York City mayor, officially launched Project 2026 NYC at Bronx Drafthouse in The Bronx on Monday, March 10.

The event, which also served as a Believe in Blake campaign fundraiser, featured performances by Tony & Grammy Award-winning actor and singer Leslie Odom, Jr. and GRAMMY Award-winning contemporary Christian artist Israel Houghton.

Blake introduced Project 2026 NYC as “a bold, New York-first initiative designed to counter federal overreach and build a stronger, more resilient city.”

He said his platform prioritizes economic justice, tenant protections, and social services to ensure New Yorkers thrive.
