Deciding NYC's Future: The Latest Charter Revision Commission and November Referendum

The NYC Charter serves as the city's constitution, outlining the powers and structure of its government. Charter Revision is a powerful, yet often misunderstood, process that allows for amendments to this foundational document, with potential to significantly impact the city's landscape, including the nonprofit sector.  

This program will provide a comprehensive overview of the NYC Charter Revision process, starting with the fundamentals – what it is, its history, and how it can impact the city. We'll delve into past revisions, examining how they've been used to shift power dynamics, respond to societal needs, and modernize city governance. We'll then turn our attention to the present, dissecting the current Charter Revision Commission, its proposals, and the debates surrounding them. The proposals will be up for voters to consider at this November election. Finally, we'll look ahead, exploring the potential future impacts of these proposals on the nonprofit sector, including possible changes in funding, regulations, and collaborations.

Join us to actively participate in shaping the future of NYC governance. Gain insights from key stakeholders, engage in dynamic discussions, and ensure that the NYC Charter reflects the needs and aspirations of all New Yorkers, including the vital role of the nonprofit sector.
