COMPTROLLER AND MANHATTAN BOROUGHT PRESIDENT ROUNDUP
7PM - 8:30 PM

There's been a lot of focus on the mayoral race, but we've also got to choose a Comptroller (the city's CFO), and a borough president. This is your chance to talk about the issues, and the candidates, with other voters like you. This is not a debate (no candidates will be present).

BUILDING PROGRESSIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH STATE AND LOCAL PARTIES

In order to spread a progressive agenda we can't just concentrate on federal races. We need grassroots relationships at the local and state level too. This helps get better candidates, increases local turnout, and stops dangerous GOP attempts to suppress the vote and cut back on equal rights.

* Saira Amir Draper, Director of Voter Protection, Democratic Party of Georgia.
* Chaunté Gilmore, Director, New Leaders Council, Oklahoma Chapter.
* Timicia Grant, Lead Organizer, Greenville County, Register 46 Voter Registration Team, South Carolina Democratic Party.
