NEW YORK, NY – On Thursday, April 30th, New York City Council Member James Vacca, Chair of Committee on Technology, will host a streaming, interactive press conference on Google to celebrate the live launch of the civic engagement app and website, Countable, for New York City residents.

Countable is a top app for quickly learning about legislation, and weighing in with lawmakers about it in just one click.
