_What are your hopes and concerns for your community? What are the
most important issues in your community right now?_The NEW YORK Public
Library (NYPL) is teaming up with the Local Voices Network (LVN)
[http://lvn.org] and THE CITY newsroom [https://thecity.nyc/] for a
project that seeks to record neighborhood conversations on important
local topics. These recordings will be shared on a searchable website
for journalists, decision-makers, and other local stakeholders to tune
into the community’s real concerns.
We need the participation of local community members to make this a
success.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
* STEP ONE: You'll join a 4 - 6 person recorded conversation with
fellow New Yorkers in your community, facilitated by NYPL staff.
You'll share real concerns, stories, and ideas connected to your
experience living in NYC.
* STEP TWO: Our recorded conversation will then be transcribed,
keyworded and posted on a website to be shared with media outlets,
local decision-makers, and other neighborhood stakeholders with the
goal of offering a new window into issues that are important to our
community.
Together, we'll create a platform where _everyone_ is invited to be
heard.
SPACE IS LIMITED. RSVPS ARE NECESSARY FOR THIS PROGRAM. REFRESHMENTS
WILL BE SERVED.

ABOUT THE LOCAL VOICES NETWORK:
_The Local Voices Network project aims to bring the perspectives and
concerns of everyday New Yorkers to light through facilitated
community conversations that invite anyone and everyone to the table
to share and listen. Conversations are recorded and transcribed with
the goal of offering media, local leadership, and the greater public a
new window into the most important community issues. Learn more at our

ABOUT THE CITY:
_THE CITY is an independent, nonprofit news outlet dedicated to
hard-hitting reporting that serves the people of New York. Our
reporters pound the pavement in all five boroughs, working with New
Yorkers to tell their stories and make their lives better. We’re
here to listen to New Yorkers, dig into their concerns and deliver
stories that drive the public conversation and set the agenda on key
issues. At a time when the media has been upended by technological,
economic and political shifts, we want to reconnect people back to
local news – and reconnect local news to getting action._
