New York City is on the precipice of an election that opens up new possibilities for community organizations to work with an Administration towards building a more transformative framework for democracy.

Join us to learn from the experiences of experts who have done this work -- at the national level in Grenada, in Jackson, Mississippi, and in Budapest, Hungary.
