ActNY was founded by Esme Vroom, a Freshman and Public Policy Major at the University of Chicago. She is committed to bringing about transformative change within government through pragmatic political strategy and actionable solutions to the cultural and economic issues that remain divisive within the current political sphere. Understanding government at the local, city, state and Federal levels is one way we can all encourage broader participation in the political process and foster true awareness of political perspectives across the city and across the aisle.
