Rules Reform Hearing
Thursday, Feb. 26
6:00 - 9:00
250 Broadway, 19th floor (Senate hearing room)
The state Senate is holding hearings on rules reform.
In 2004, the Brennan Center issued a report calling New York's state government "dysfunctional." Since then, there have been some minor changes (and DFNYC helped make that happen!), but little else. Now, the new Senate Majority Leader, Malcolm Smith, has created a committee to recommend specific reforms.
They're holding a hearing this Thursday evening, from 6-9, at 250 Broadway on the 19th floor (Senate hearing room).
Turnout is important, to let our elected officials know we want reform in Albany. So come on down to lower Manhattan this Thursday. |

Join DFNYC as we celebrate the inauguration with Living Liberally and other progressive friends on the Sunday night before President-elect Obama is sworn in: Correction: By mistake, we previously stated that this ball was on the Saturday before inauguration. It is actually on the Sunday before inauguration, Jan. 18. On Tuesday, January 20th, the Inauguration will mark the end of an error and the start of an exciting new chapter in American history. The weekend before, on the eve of Martin Luther King Day, join NYC's progressive party people for a dancing, drinking, delirious joy. The Living Liberally Inaugural Ball.
Sunday, January 18th - 8pm
Rush - 6th Avenue @ 16th Street Three floor dance party; special guests; drink specials all night and the first drink on us; the Inaugural energy right here in New York.

(Attire is whatever you make of it -- there will be people in suits and gowns, and others dressed down to get down) We'll also be "Feeding Liberally" -- that is, collecting food for local foodbanks as part of a national Drinking Liberally effort to donate to pantries across the country, and in honor of President-Elect Obama's National Day of Service. So bring your dancing shoes and a few canned good for the Food Bank of NYC.
