Urban Investigations

Our Voice, Our Choice

Every year New Yorkers vote in an election. What are local elections? Who and what are you voting for? Why vote?

In our latest Urban Investigation, CUP and the New York City Campaign Finance Board collaborated with Teaching Artist Emily Young and students from Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School in the Bronx to dig a little deeper into local elections.

Students got out of the classroom and into the middle of local issues, from surveying community members to interviewing local government officials. Students created this booklet as a guide to teach you about how to get your voice heard in local elections and what choices you have as a resident of New York City.
