06.06 Primary Voter Guide is LIVE!

SPV’s Voter guide is live. Share with your network! Maya Wiley is #1 (ask AOC).

Our #1 and the AOC endorsed candidate for mayor of NYC!

The Soft Power Vote Guide is live and ready for the taking! We ranked ALL city council, mayor, borough president, comptroller, y más. Share with your fam, friends, IG community and let’s level up!

Soft Power Vote’s ethos is grounded in equity, inclusion, and visibility. A truly viable society includes equity, education and housing justice, arts accessibility, and walkable and bikeable streets. These are not wild concepts. It is not cheap to live here. We want our tax dollars to fund programs that support and enrich our communities, not police them. 

SPOILER ALERT: We are ranking Maya Wiley #1 for mayor. She’s a solid top slot with thoughtful plans for NYC, not just dreams. AOC agrees.

Check out the voter guide here. Do yourself a favor and view on your desktop (Mobile version will be shared via IG in the coming days). You, our newsletter readers and subscribers, get first dibs on the voter guide. In this DENSE spreadsheet, you’ll find links to candidate websites, social, and SPV’s POV. Don’t be shy! Share and let’s level up!
