We work both locally and nationally to ensure that fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates are elected at all levels of government. We develop innovative ways to advocate for the issues that matter to our members and support legislation which has a positive effect in our communities. We promote transparency and ethical practices in government. We engage people in the political process and give them the tools to organize, communicate, mobilize, and enact change on the local, state, and national level.
Export Event On Monday, June 10, join DL21C’ers for a first-of-its kind event – an evening of Speed Politicking with our 2013 NYC City Council candidates!
An alternative to the traditional political forums and debates, Speed Politicking will be a lively and unique way to interact with the candidates and leaders who will be influencing our city for the next decade and beyond.
Based loosely on the “speed-dating” model, at DL21C’s Speed Politicking event you’ll join us at one of NYC’s newest and largest beer gardens, where you’ll rotate between “issue tables” and meet many of the 100+ announced City Council candidates.
After introductions, you’ll spend 10 minutes asking questions of the candidates and sharing your thoughts on the important issues they’ll address as Councilmembers if elected. Then it’s on to the next issue!
Following each hour-long round of speed politicking, candidates and attendees will meet, mingle, and socialize throughout Houston Hall.
Engage one-on-one with dozens of 2013 Council candidates - not only from your district, but from all over the five boroughs – and meet the next set of leaders who will shape our city’s future.
See you on the 10th for this groundbreaking citywide event.
