our story.
New York politics
runs on relationships.
Too often, access to those relationships depends on who you already know.
New York’s political and civic community is active, but fragmented. Information and opportunities move through private group chats, scattered listservs, and existing networks, making access depend too often on who you already know.
Politicking is building a year-round home for people across government, campaigns, advocacy, labor, public affairs, nonprofits, business, and civic leadership. We bring together opportunities, events, professional development, and meaningful connections so people can expand their circles, build their careers, and collaborate across sectors.
Our vision is to build the connective infrastructure behind New York City politics, sustaining community long after any event or Election Day.
That means creating the relationships, tools, information, resources, programming, and shared spaces that help the entire ecosystem work better together.
Because stronger political communities are built before anyone needs something from one another.
what we’re building.
Politicking is building a year round platform designed to make New York’s political and civic ecosystem easier to navigate, more connected, and more accessible.
