I ALSO GET MARRY

A group of architects present us the campaign "Marry Madrid", around the municipal elections. Marry Madrid is a meeting point, a tool that allows citizens to exercise a commitment to the city where they live.

CÁSATE CON MADRID is a meeting point, a tool that allows citizens to exercise a commitment to the city where they live.

At a time when municipal policies enter into its most important debate with the upcoming elections in May, the YOTAMBIÉNMECASO platform creates a space for reflection and participation in the city, in which its inhabitants are the protagonists. The installation of a large map of Madrid in Efímeras and the web will be the elements to create a great record and dissemination of our commitments.

Where are they?

Go to the Arquerías de Nuevos Ministerios Room. Until May 29 at the exhibition Efímeras.

Commitment by mail!

If you are not in Madrid, you can commit yourself by mail: You are from Madrid, tourist, resident, passer-by, visitor, neighbor, YOU can commit yourself by mail. Too easy.

Tell them about what place, street, corner, building ... you want to say something. They send you the ballot by mail.
