Organizing for Action Naresh --

We're taking the fight for fair elections in New York to the next level this week.

Advocates across the state are inviting family, friends, and fellow supporters like you into their homes for Fair Elections house parties, and there's one in Hempstead this Tuesday.

Can you make it? Here are the details:

What: Fair Elections house party in Hempstead

Where: 96 Vermont Ave.
Hempstead, NY 11550

When: Tuesday, April 9th
12:07 pm

RSVP now

Supporters are gathering to watch a short film and learn more about how we can take action in the coming weeks to ensure that the state legislature passes Fair Elections this session.

We're getting together because contributions from special interests, corporations, and lobbyists are overpowering individual voters in New York elections. Weak disclosure requirements compound the problem, and middle-class New Yorkers lose out to special-interest groups with more money and power.

But even if every single New Yorker supported fair elections, it wouldn't matter if we didn't organize.

Our strength as a movement has always lied in the willingness of regular people to speak out and take action -- and your participation is critical.

It only takes a minute to RSVP for the house party near you:

New York is poised to become a leader in campaign finance reform and set an example for the nation: If and when we win, the nation will look to us as an example -- publicly financed elections are a feasible solution to the unmitigated influence of corporate cash in campaigns.

Now, let's get it done.

Thanks for all you do. I hope to see you out there this week,

Kate

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
