Warwick, New York is a wonderful community filled with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Often, our diversity of experience leads to different perceptions of current events and community challenges.

We the People Warwick (WTPW) is a grassroots organization formed in early 2021 with the goal of fostering dialogue to bridge divides, build connections, and unite our community.

Through WTPW, concerned residents come together to consider what we have in common, what keeps us apart, and how we can work together to build a stronger Warwick for all of us. It is because of their talents, skills, creative imaginations, dedicated work, and love of community that the growth and progress of WTPW continue. WTPW is a fully volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We welcome donations here.

We the People Warwick Mission
