2.1 Apply to be a Borough Assembly Member

Shape the Future of Your Borough - Apply to Be a 2026 Borough Assembly Member!

Be part of something meaningful. Assemblies are a new and growing way for everyday people to have a direct say in how decisions are made. Now, you can be part of it right here in New York City. As a Borough Assembly Member, you'll help decide how public money is spent in your community — through real, in-person conversations that lead to real change as part of The People's Money. This is a chance to represent your borough, amplify community voices, and help turn public ideas into funded projects.

All New York City residents can apply to be a Borough Assembly Member — regardless of immigration or incarceration status. Minors can apply too, as long as they have parental consent. Assembly Members are chosen through a random selection process designed to reflect the diversity of each borough.

Apply here today to take your seat at the table.
