Council Member Marjorie Velázquez - Redistricting in Council District 13

 

Dear Neighbor,

This year, the New York City Districting Commission has worked diligently to update our communities on the changes coming to New York City. To reach as many community members as possible, they have held Public Meetings throughout the City. Recently, the Commission held a Public Meeting to vote on sending the Commission’s Revised Plan to the City Council. The Commission declined to send the maps to the Council, however, they have made the plan and its data available on their website.

Additionally, there will be two Public Meetings this week to discuss revisions to the Plan over Zoom. They will be live-streamed, recorded, and available on their digital archives through the Commission’s website under the “Participate” tab.

The Public Meetings will take place on:

• Thursday, September 29th from 5 PM to 8 PM

• Friday, September 30th from 10 AM to 1 PM.

If you haven’t submitted your testimony, there is still time to do so. At this time, there have been over 9,600 testimonies submitted to the Commission. Remember, only testimonies submitted to the Districting Commission will be considered. Please send your testimonies to publictestimony@redistricting.nyc.gov.

If you have any questions or would like assistance submitting your testimony, please call my office at 718-931-1721 or email district13@council.nyc.gov.

Council Member Marjorie Velázquez.
