The NYC Districting Commission has just started the process of redrawing the 51 New York City Council districts, and your input matters. Testifying is an important way to have your voice heard in the process, so she encourages you to do so.

“The NYC Districting Commission has just started the process of redrawing the 51 New York City Council districts, and we want you to testify,” Menin’s Communications Director Anna Correa said yesterday. 

Thursday, May 26th is the first Public Hearing for the New York City Council hosted by the NYC Districting Commission starting at 3 pm at 1 Pace Plaza, New York, NY 10007. A copy of the public notice for the hearing, including instructions for how to submit written and verbal testimony, is available on the Commission’s website here.

“The City Charter requires that New Yorkers provide input in this process and community input is integral,” Correa emphasized. “Feel free to share this message with other community members/organizations in the district.”
