We are Mount Vernon residents who care because we live here. We believe our local government must serve all residents fairly, transparently, and without favoritism.
Our work is non-partisan, fact-based, secular, and anti-racist, focused on accountability and real improvement in our community.
Independent research and analysis of public records, budgets, and government actions.
FOIL requests, audits, and evidence-based reporting accessible to the public.
Strategic legal action to compel compliance with the law when necessary.
Support for whistle blowers and residents who report misconduct in good faith.
No democracy functions without engaged citizens.
Real accountability begins when people take part – by staying informed, speaking up, and supporting one another.
The Mount Vernon Civic Integrity Project offers several ways to get involved, at your own pace and in your own way.
