Citizens Union’s Civic Conversations are a series of semi-monthly programs on topics important to New Yorkers and our civic lives. Conversations are held in the morning and are either virtual or in-person, and all are posted on CU’s website. Past Civic Conversations have included Ranked Choice Voting, NYC Competitiveness, Housing, Police Accountability and the 2021 New York City Mayoral Primaries. These events are free and open to the public for all to attend. Please make a donation to support these events to allow us to keep them free, which you can do HERE.
