About V.O.I.C.E
Viable Opportunity for Inclusion and Constituent Engagement
Our Mission
V.O.I.C.E empowers New York residents to stay informed about and participate in their local government through accessible, AI-powered civic engagement technology.
The Problem
Most residents have no idea what their local government is doing. City council meetings happen during work hours. Agendas are buried on government websites. News coverage is shrinking. The result: decisions that affect people's lives — taxes, zoning, schools, public safety — are made without their input.
