Call Grows to Open NYC’s Primaries to 1.2 Million New Yorkers Shut Out

Last December the NYC Mayor established a panel to review the NYC Charter and place revisions on the ballot to make the city government “more transparent
and responsive to the needs of city residents.”

Open Primaries Let Us Vote campaign organized dozens of independent voters to show up and testify to their lived experience being denied a meaningful vote.

One of those voters, Richard Ronner from Astoria, NY has just written a powerful opinion piece about both his experience testifying and being a second class citizen in a state that prides itself on being a bastion for democracy.

If you’re a New Yorker and want to get more involved in NYC and working to open the primaries here, reach out to our new National Organizing Director, Cathy Stewart at cstewart@openprimaries.org
