The Civic Matters Hub is here to support you along your civic journey. We are a resource for creating stronger communities, advocating for change, and most importantly, helping you make your voice heard through voting, community organizing, volunteering, rallying, and more.

At a moment in history when our bodily autonomy is under attack, feminist and LGBTQ+ movements are called on to show up for our transgender community members and protect reproductive healthcare. Join the NYCLU for the fourth and final installation of our annual town hall series, “Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment” to learn about the policies that will ensure all New Yorkers are treated equitably and to learn what you can do on the eve of pride month to help defend reproductive freedoms and LGBTQ+ rights. Topics will include legislation to protect healthcare providers who offer access to abortions and gender affirming care, an update on the implementation of New York’s recent Prop 1 amendment (the New York State “Equal Rights Amendment”), and insight into the local landscape of LGBTQ+ rights in Nassau County.
Join RAFT (Resilience for Advocates through Foundational Training) for their next support call for advocates. The goal of this monthly call is to provide a space for domestic violence/sexual assault advocates to share concerns, share resources and best practices, and as a place to listen and be heard. These support calls will continue monthly on the 1st Wednesday of every month.This event is hosted by the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Voting was important to me as the next step in my civic journey. At last, my voice was being heard. I feel like I am paving the way for my fellow immigrants.
