Hey, Matthew-

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm familiar with your efforts to fight machine politics in Brooklyn; your inclinations are perfect for this project, and I'd be honored to have you involved in whatever capacities you'd like. Give me a ring when you have a moment, if you would.

Thanks,

Dear friends,

A quick reminder about the special event at our monthly meeting this Wednesday, February 3rd.  Come learn more about the Brooklyn Democratic Party's notoriously corrupt judicial selection process and what we can do to reform it!  We will also discuss how you can help effect change in Brooklyn by running for office in September.

NKD has launched a new Brooklyn Political Calendar.  Read more about it below.

Also, NKD is collecting our annual dues for 2010.  For $25, you can qualify as a voting member on NKD endorsements, election of officers, and key strategic decisions.  Your contribution goes towards helping to bring about real change in Brooklyn by supporting our progressive members and allies who are running for office in September.  NKD Treasurer, Alex Low, will be collecting dues at the meeting.

Brooklyn Political Calendar
 

NKD has created a Brooklyn Political Calendar. 

 

The purpose of this calendar is to be a publicly accessible repository that will list political and civic events in the borough.  Although New Kings Democrats has created the calendar and we plan to list our club's events, we intend for this to be a joint calendar to be shared by political clubs, CBO's, OFA, elected officials, activists, etc.. to list events that people across the borough can attend.  The link can be posted to websites, blogs and be easily e-mailed (you don't need a Gmail account to view but it can be easily added to personal calendars by those who do have one).

 

This is a work in progress and we are in the process of adding recurring monthly meetings.  To add any events to the calendar, simply send details to: BrooklynPoliticalCalendar@gmail.com and we will be upload it the same day.
