“True governance is by the people, for the people. We must ensure that our institutions are accountable to the full diversity of our society – regardless of voter eligibility. Here in New York City, our IDNYC program and participatory budgeting process have made historic strides to enfranchise New Yorkers who for too long have been excluded from civic and public life. Today’s Supreme Court decision affirms what New Yorkers across the city have known all along: every voice counts, and every voice must be heard.”
