As we approach another weekend under these difficult conditions, we are thinking of all of you and your families. The challenges are immense and unprecedented, and we hope to do whatever we can to help and provide engagement opportunities for our members, friends, and neighbors.
Yesterday, we were proud to host a webinar on voting and employment rights. Thank you so much to Brandon Smith of the New York Democratic Lawyers' Committee and Susan Crumiller of Crumiller, P.C. for joining us!
We are working on making a recording of the webinar accessible, but for now we hope you will check out some of the slides from the event, which can be found here. We also encourage you to check out the excellent Covid-19 resources page from Crumiller, P.C.
Finally, we wanted to let you know about an upcoming digital volunteering opportunity! As you may know, Governor Cuomo recently expanded absentee ballot access for the June 23rd primary to include all registered voters.
This Sunday, we're hosting a phone bank for one of our endorsed candidates, Emily Gallagher, who is running for State Assembly in the 50th District. We'll be calling voters to let them know how to vote by mail for the June primary.
Please sign up HERE to register for Sunday's virtual event. There will be a brief training on Zoom and all you need is a computer and a phone to participate! WHEN: Sunday, April 26th at 4:00 PM WHERE: Online! Register here.
Stay safe and healthy! We'll reach out again soon.
P.S. Today, the state announced they will mail all registered voters an absentee application with paid postage. Watch out for it!
