I feel like I already know the answer to this, but have any of you actually emailed your City Council rep personally to express how you feel about this? They are usually pretty responsive.

I mean, that might actually do something to impact a change. Writing on here won't.

I imagine the average person here has no idea which council district they are in, let alone that they even have a councilperson, or a state congressperson for that matter lol

Care to share easy ways to access this information? May be more helpful

Sure thing, to start off with: council district. One can enter their address here on this map to find their district: https://council.nyc.gov/map-widget/

On the map the results will show your councilperson and a direct link to your district's website (every district has one) that includes information on your councilperson and how to contact their office. All council emails are generally "District#@council.nyc.gov" (replace # with your number). This is the constituent email for residents of the districts to email questions, concerns, etc. and a member of the councilperson's team should get back to you.

A similar process can be followed for New York State Assemblymen and State Senator Districts. These are who represent you in the state government, not to be confused with federal level congresspersons and senators that go to DC.

Assembly: https://nyassembly.gov/mem/search/ Senators: https://www.nysenate.gov/find-my-senator

And finally! Your congressperson: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
