As the November election draws near, WNYC is focusing on what people in our region have to say about the issues and going to the polls. We’re using laundromats across the New York metro area as hubs for civic engagement.

WNYC's Community Partnerships editor, George Bodarky, is leading our 'Suds and Civics' effort. He joined Morning Edition from Bubbles aRe US in Paterson, New Jersey, along with Lauren Nance of the League of Women Voters of Paterson, who also serves on the Board of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey. Also joining them was Brigid Harrison, Department Chair and Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University.
