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.
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:
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.
