WNYC News | Feb 21, 2024

Soap gets laundry done. Conversation gets democracy going. This election year, WNYC is turning some laundromats in the New York metro area into hubs of civic dialogue.

Let’s talk democracy at the laundromat! 

We'll be regularly talking to neighborhood residents at:

  • Stuy Wash N Dry in East New York, Brooklyn
  • 14th Street Laundry in Astoria, Queens
  • Madison Ave Laundry in East Harlem
  • Star Laundromat on Staten Island
  • Jason’s Laundromat in Huntington Station, NY
  • Fountain Square Laundry in Beacon, NY
  • Bubbles aRe Us in Paterson, NJ
  • J&J Laundromat in the Bronx
  • Other laundromats TBD

Your voice matters!

Even if you won't be joining us between washing and folding, we want to hear from you. What questions do you have about the election process? What would you like to hear from the candidates as they seek your vote? Working with our partners at America Amplified, we've made it quick and easy for you to share your thoughts. Just fill out our brief form and tell us what's important to you. We'll dig into the answers and share them with you -- maybe even on air and online!
