On its first stated meeting of 2020, the Council let the legislative agenda recede behind a moment the moment demanded. Speaker Corey Johnson opened by naming the rash of antisemitic attacks gripping the city and a weekend solidarity march with the Jewish community. Member after member rose, Kalman Yeger, defiant and raw ('Leave us alone'); Mark Gjonaj, invoking his refugee grandfather and Dr. King; Karen Koslowitz, recalling Poland; Steve Levin of Williamsburg closing on teaching children to love. Mark Treyger introduced Int 1847 to track hate crimes in CompStat. Routine business, a 39-0 gene
