Do you live, work or have a special connection (ie: go to school) in NYC District 2?

We wanted to reach out not only because we’re currently part of a Participatory Budgeting campaign in District 2, but also to share our sincere appreciation. Council Member Epstein has been such a strong and consistent supporter of our work, and it truly means a great deal to us.

As voting is open through April 19, we were hoping you might be willing to help amplify this effort by sharing our project your social media platforms. It would be a meaningful way to both celebrate that support and encourage community participation.

If you’re open to it, we’ve attached a flyer with a QR code that can be easily shared. Tagging and would help broaden the reach.

Image description: Promotional Facebook post for NYC Belongs featuring logos at the top, a banner reading “Making District 2 More Accessible, Connected, and Inclusive,” and an illustration of a smartphone, cityscape, and diverse people, including wheelchair users. Bullet points highlight mapping disability resources, supporting organizations, improving access to services and events, and youth-driven collaboration. Bottom banner: “Vote for NYC Belongs April 11–19” with projectaccessforall.org. A QR code to vote is in the bottom right corner.
