Greetings Bronx Progressives
Happy and most prosperous New Year! Hope this email finds you and your loved ones healthy and filled with energy, faith, high hopes, and optimism for 2021! I hope that at least you're looking forward to number 45's last day in office January 20.
Let's keep a close eye at the Biden and Harris new administration, as they settle in and begin to take serious action with addressing our COVID-19 crisis, a course towards expediting an effective and proactive vaccination campaign across this country, implementing rent cancellation or relief for tenants and small business owners, and a stimulus relief package that truly aims to get at the root of the problems that the working class in this country face.
In the spirit of starting a new year with high hopes, and energized in figuring out collectively what should be our vision for 2021, our working group to reactivate Bronx Progressives will be proposing a couple of ideas to keep us active for the first quarter of the year. One of our ideas is to join a coalition of organizations like Concerns Citizens for Change, North Bronx Indivisible, Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, and others across the state to push passing the NY Health Act.
As many of you know, we still don't have an Executive Committee. This is critical in order for us to function as an organiztion. Therefore, another idea is a plan to expand membership within our group, in order to vote on the formation of an executive committee. We're also excited to share other ideas, but we want to make sure that you're part of the discussion as well, where you can share feedback and ideas on what should be our vision for 2021.
We will also be joined by our very own George Diaz, member of Bronx Progressives, who will discuss the upcoming special elections in Council Districts 11 and 15' seats formerly held by Andrew Cohen and Richie Torres respectively. He will break-down for us the candidates running, and some background on them, which candidates are aligned with our progressive values, and the challenges they face with solving local issues in their districts.
