Join Democracy for NYC, Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America, to Help Send Democrat Ned Lamont to Washington! Ned Lamont is running for U.S. Senate from Connecticut.

Speakers: Jim Dean and Ned Lamont
RSVP
Suggested donation: $25
Ned Lamont is running for the US Senate because we deserve a Senator who will stand up for our progressive democratic values. We need Senators who will actually do something about the damaging policies of this administration, and lead the charge to take back our government. Ned has real business experience, a strong progressive platform, and will fight for universal health care, good jobs, and to protect our Constitutional rights (including a woman’s right to choose.) Ned Lamont is just the person we need to be the Democratic Senator from Connecticut. Ned has refused to seek or accept donations form Washington lobbyists. Ned has been endorsed by Democracy for America.
Please join us and help send Ned Lamont to Washington!

CRITCAL MASS BICYCLE MOVEMENT! Critical Mass is a bicyclist movement (NOT an organized group!) that holds weekly protests all over the world to protest pollution. Rides are the last Friday of every month starting in Union Sq. Park North, 7PM! At a DFNYC meeting attended by Norm Seigel, Norm used Critical Mass as an example of the kind of activism that NYC needs most and the way Bloomberg is trying to squelch our rights and our voices. Critical Mass deserves our help. According to Bloomberg, my inclusion of this in my newsletter is probably illegal. Well, I refuse to let Bloomberg tell me what I can and cannot write in my Newsletter.
And see their worldwide calendar for Bike Workshops and other locations.
There is more you can do to support Critical Mass. This comes from a reader in Manhattan:
To help keep people involved in Critical Mass, people who might be sacred off because of renewed aggressiveness by the police, I have started a pledge drive that sponsors arrestees. This is a great way for people to stay involved in Critical Mass, stay on top of the issue, and use the NYPD and Bloomberg's tactics to work for us not against us. I am pledging $2 per arrestee, and the money will go to the Legal Aid Society. Pledges are made on the honor system. The more bicyclists the cops arrest the more money for defending civil rights is raised.
BROOKLYN EVENTS:

DRINKING LIBERALLY: An informal, inclusive weekly Democratic drinking club. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher. Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics. Here are our local Brooklyn groups:
Park Slope: First Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm onward, Commonwealth, 497 5th Ave (at 12th Street). Hosted by Emily Farris and Peter Wohlsen, parkslope (at) drinkingliberally.org
Williamsburg: Every Tuesday, 8:00 pm onward the Levee, 212 Berry St. (corner of N. 3rd). Hosted by Elana Levin and Michael Freedman-Schnapp, williamsburg (at) drinkingliberally.org
