Friendly Reminder Join our Bronx Progressives February Annual Virtual Meeting

 

Friendly Reminder Join Fellow Progressives for our February Annual Virtual Meeting! Topic: Bronx Progressives February Annual Virtual Meeting  Time: Feb 24, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89063327145 Meeting ID: 890 6332 7145 Greetings Bronx Progressives Members!   We're now in February! Hope this email finds you well and that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe. And hope we're still breathing sighs of relief now that you know who is out of the White House.     Yet, we're still reliving the pain and harrowing images of what happened on January 6 on the news and in the current impeachment trial.   As we mentioned at our January meeting, the Working Group to Reactivate Bronx Progressives agreed to push our January Annual meeting (as inscribed in our bylaws that should happen in January) to February. We made this decision because we needed more time to thoughtfully plan out the Annual meeting, as we focus on revising the bylaws, and discussing ideas on issues and movements we should be involved with as a group; and once we reached consensus, we would then present them to you--our members, to collectively discuss and vote on the issues we should get involved with.   The Working Group is recommending that we focus on two or three issues for 2021. One of the idea is to join the Campaign for New York Health, and support that movement. Another idea is to join the Tax the Rich Campaign. And lastly, supporting the Homes Guarantee Movement. But we also want to hear from you, and get feedback on what other issues you think we should get involved with.    We will also be joined by Omar Suarez, Director of Partnerships and Outreach at NYC Votes, who will give us a presentation on Ranked Choice Voting. RCV is  a newly implemented electoral system that will only apply for local city elections.  Join us Wednesday, February 24 at 7pm, for our Annual Virtual General Meeting.
