You matter. Your #vote matters! Polls are open today from 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. Visit voting.nyc to find your poll site, see NYC’s official 2020 Voter Guide, and learn your rights. What you need to know:... If you are on line by 9 pm, you have the right to vote. Stay on line! You DO NOT need to show an ID unless you are a first time voter whose ID has not yet been verified. You have the right to ask a poll worker for help, and to use an interpreter if you need language assistance.

Tomorrow is Election Day and your vote counts! If you're voting in person, find your poll site at findmypollsite.vote.nyc. If you're voting with an absentee ballot, we recommend dropping it off at any poll site.

During the pandemic, our Early Childhood program worked tirelessly to provide much-needed supports to our children and their families. Thank you to Lord Abbett & Company and their amazing employees for hosting a virtual storytime series that has made remote and blended learning more enjoyable for our little learners.

Thank you so much to the community of supporters who ensured last night's overwhelming success! The 10th Annual #ChildrensAidBenefit raised more than $1.35 million for the children, youth, and families of New York City. Because of you, and the generous seeds of hope you planted last night, we will be able to continue to provide mission-critical services and support to our children and families. We are grateful for our friends, donors, staff, and partners for their incredible generosity. We could not have done this without you!

Tonight's the night! For the first time in our history, the #ChildrensAidBenefit is going virtual! We invite you to join us for this very special evening packed full of inspiration as we honor our essential workers and celebrate the resilience of New York City's children, youth, and families. Each one of you plays a vital role in helping us achieve our mission to ensure that every child has what they need to learn, grow, and lead. Join us tonight to see the impact YOU have made and CAN make as we continue this work together. Program starts at 7:00 p.m. EST: ChildrensAidNYC.org/Benefit
