Battleground New York will engage a diverse coalition often overlooked as low-propensity voters, including young people, voters of color, and new registrants. We will reach them on their doorsteps and in their communities, informing them on policy, educating them on voting by mail, and persuading them to turn out.

Battleground New York (BGNY) is an unprecedented coalition uniting many of New York's leading organizations, unions, and movements for a common cause- taking back the House and making Rep.Hakeem Jeffries Speaker. We are launching the largest field and organizing campaign in the state's modern history to reach New Yorkers at their doorsteps, on their phones, and in their neighborhoods.

Priority Issues:

In our voter registration efforts, our primary focus revolves around the needs and concerns of the immigrant community. We address the specific challenges and circumstances faced by immigrants, working to engage them in the voting process. As studies continue to show, there remains an ongoing underrepresentation of women, Black, Indigenous, people of color, and New American/naturalized immigrants in both electoral processes and decision-making institutions. To address this civic engagement and representation gap, the NYIC launched its voter engagement program to reimagine civic engagement through lenses of long term capacity building. The program provides community-based organizations with funding, training, technical support, and strategic partnership to effectively engage, educate, and activate immigrant and historically disenfranchised women and families in civic matters. By leveraging established voter and civic engagement tactics, we adopt a holistic approach to reshape the electorate and political influence. While maintaining an essential role in community engagement, we recognize the importance of addressing specific issues and obstacles inherent in working with our communities. Language Barriers For non-english speaking voters, it is essential to ensure ballot and voter registration materials are translated accurately and reflect the true intended meaning of the text. The NYIC and its partners are committed to delivering in-language livestreams, digital toolkits, and virtual workshops to assist with absentee ballot applications, communicating these crucial changes in at least seven different languages. Aligning with our City and State priorities, we actively support legislation aimed at expanding language access, particularly at the polls. The NYIC sits on the New York City Civic Engagement Commission’s Language Access and Participatory Budgeting Advisory Board and our Executive Director is a Commissioner of the Civic Engagement Commission. Unfamiliarity or Distrust in the Process The voting process can often appear complex and corrupt to immigrant voters due to unfamiliarity or distrust in the systems that have often not supported their interests or needs. It is essential that our efforts focus on empowering communities through education and fostering trust with our partner organizations who are working on the ground with our communities. The NYIC leverages its extensive statewide network to build a foundation of trusted messengers to bring immigrants and communities of color into the electoral process. Our partnerships enable a coordinated effort, amplification of messaging, and opportunities for capacity building within the vital network of immigrant-serving organizations across the state. By partnering closely with our base of members, which include grassroots and nonprofit community organizations, religious and academic institutions, labor unions, and legal and socioeconomic justice organizations, the NYIC integrates extensive people power and diverse grassroots connections into our National Voter Registration Day programs.

By increasing trust, representativeness, and civic engagement, SDAN will improve the quality of public policy passed by state legislatures and the trust in state government, to the benefit of all Americans.
