Big decisions for NYC are on the June 24 primary ballot! The June 24 primary will decide candidates for Mayor, City Council members, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough Presidents, and the Manhattan District Attorney. These local offices affect everything from schools to public safety. Your voice carries further in a low-turnout election like this one, so make sure you vote in-person or via mail. June 14 is the last day to register to vote and request your early mail ballot, which every New Yorker has the right to request – or your absentee ballot if you won’t be in town. Early Voting starts June 14 and runs through June 22. Visit www.vote.nyc to check your registration and polling place. Mark your calendars and get ready to vote – or sign our voter pledge at https://tinyurl.com/4689x6wn to receive a reminder from our team! #NYCisUS (fb)

Join us on Wednesday, June 4, for an urgent community conversation! Federal budget cuts are threatening the very programs East New York families rely on – SNAP, Medicaid, Head Start, housing support, and more. These cuts are not just numbers on a page – they are real losses with real consequences. 📅 Wednesday, June 4 🕕 6:00 – 7:30 PM 📍 IS 302 Auditorium at 350 Linwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208 This event is co-sponsored by University Settlement and the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation. Together, we’ll unpack what’s at stake, share how these cuts will impact our neighborhood, and outline ways to organize, mobilize, and vote to protect what we’ve built. Please share widely. Let’s show up, speak out, and stand together! #NYCisUS (fb)
