Want a Seat on Your Community Board? There’s Still Time.
If you want to join a Manhattan community board and haven’t yet filed an application, you have until tomorrow. Manhattan has the earliest (and by far the most well-publicized) deadline of the five boroughs, so no need to panic if you intend to apply elsewhere.
As regular readers know, community boards often represent the front lines in the battle for livable streets, and our neighborhoods desperately need more progressive voices at the board level — ideally, enough of them so that something like this doesn’t happen again.
Follow the jump for more dates and application links. Best of luck.
