“I looked out the window, saw it was raining and started to put it off ‘til the rain stopped. But then I said: ’No, let me go ahead and cast my vote.’ I feel it’s my civic duty, I always vote. School, housing, the issues with the police and work are all things I care about. Education for me is key. When I was growing up I didn’t get the education I needed. I have two children, both are in college now because I pushed them to go. One is gonna be a child psychologist, the other one is into chemistry. I just want education to be accessible to the kids that are growing up now. I just want to see a better state of things.“ James, 53, Food Distributer from East Harlem // Alejandra Arevalo

“My first time voting was in the primaries this year, this is my second time. Millenials aren’t voting and I get it. I was born in the Dominican Republic and became a citizen at 18. I was more focused on my life and never followed politics. I got into it two years ago because, after the election of Trump, I started to notice more the corruption of politics. The government is only about the rich, they don’t care about us although we’re the ones that pay the taxes. I vote for the progressives so that I’m actually voting for us. I didn’t get to register to vote for the Trump vs. Hillary race because I just didn’t make any time. But this time I got my information right and voted. My hope is that our taxes are put to a better use, especially into helping housing which is being neglected by leaders not doing their part.” Andy, 32, Concierge from East Harlem // Alejandra Arevalo
