Those who cannot come to the Bellmore Merrick Democratic Club's Stronger Together Forum can watch us LIVE on Periscope at 7:00.

This promises to be a great forum and a must for those who cannot sit back and do nothing.   Since Election Day, a movement is growing on Long Island. Democratic, progressive, environmental, women and immigrant/minority/ethnic groups are uniting, offering solace and resistance to residents. People are coming forward, refusing to remain seated or silent. The Bellmore Merrick Democratic Club is holding a STRONGER TOGETHER FORUM for residents who are concerned about how a Trump presidency will impact our lives.  
Speakers include:
  • Bellmore Merrick Democratic Club - President Claudia Borecky
  • Nassau County Democratic Committee - Chairman Jay Jacobs 
  • Congresswoman Kathleen Rice - Representative Max Kramer
With the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the Clean Water Act, water and sewage infrastructure projects and EPA protections at risk, Long Island environmentalists speak:
  • Sierra Club - Lilia Factor
  • LI Clean Air Water and Soil - Director Dave Denenberg
  • Food & Water Watch - Paul Auerbach 
  • All Our Energy - George Povall
With appointments that will take the Civil Rights Movement back 50 years, deport 11 million immigrants, empower the alt-right and form a registry for all Muslims, Long Island ethnic/minority community leaders invited to speak:
  • New Hempstead Democratic Club - President Wayne Hall, Jr.
  • Democratic Ethnic Coordinating Council - Ambassador Malik Nadeem Abid
With a president who degrades women and a vice-president whose mission in life is to reverse Roe v. Wade and privatize our education system, women leaders invited to speak:
  • Nassau Women's Democratic Caucus - President Dolores Sedacca
  • Education - Kathy Perez
Long Island's progressive activists speak of tolerance and freedom:
  • Long Island Progressive Coalition - Director Lisa Tyson 
  • Long Island Activists - Daniel Hinton
  • Move On - Regional Director Lisa Oldendorf
Open discussion will follow. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend.
