TONIGHT: Democracy for NYC's Brooklyn Candidate Forum
Thurs., May 11, 7pm
Brown Memorial Baptist Church, 484 Washington Ave., Brooklyn
Join Democracy for NYC for an exciting candidate forum on Thursday, May 11 featuring three Brooklyn races including the only "open" congressional seat in NYC.
The 11th CD will be sending a new member to congress to represent us all. We will begin voting for the DFNYC endorsement after Thursday's forum and will keep mail in voting open until next Wednesday, May 17. All DFNYC voting members (including those who do not live in the district) are eligible to vote. Come hear from the candidates this Thursday and make an informed decision.
Directions: Take the C train to Clinton-Washington; get out at the Washington Ave. exit; cross Fulton St. and walk 1 block to the church
