MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

Stephanie Swann

Member in Westchester County

​

Why are you a CVH member?
I believe I have a voice for the less fortunate or those who are afraid of retaliation when it comes to speaking up. I have no problem standing up for what is morally right.

​

Being a member of Community Voices Heard is like family. We all look out for one another. It is an organization I can relate to being a Black woman from a middle-class family. Both my parents were professionals and taught me that everyone deserved a slice of the American pie, especially the Black and brown families not invited to the table.

​

Now I am in a position to speak up for those who can not speak up for themselves and it is damn EXHILARATING!!!!

OUR MISSION

​

Community Voices Heard (CVH) is a Black and brown-led, power-building organization committed to fighting for dignity for people with low incomes and all New Yorkers. Guided by members, we center women’s voices and create unity to win financial security, a fully participatory democracy, and truly affordable homes for every New Yorker. CVH leads community organizing across the state because we will only achieve an equitable New York when we organize and fight together.
