• Partner with community-based organizations and civic leaders, increase awareness of City services, and assist New York City agencies in developing civic engagement initiatives;
• Develop a plan to consider the language access needs of limited English proficient New Yorkers with regards to the Commission’s programs and services and provide language interpreters at poll sites by the 2020 general election, with advice from a language assistance advisory committee; and
• Provide assistance to community boards."[1]

Origins and Development 

The Commission was established by popular vote on three 2018 ballot initiatives which amendend the City Charter.[2]
