NYC FOCUS: Some events
Rally to Support Democracy in Pakistan
Tuesday, November 13, from 1:00-1:30 p.m.
As an expression of solidarity with our beleaguered colleagues at the Pakistani bar, the New York City Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, and the New York County Lawyers' Association, in conjunction with other organizations, invite you to attend a public rally in front of the New York County Courthouse, 60 Centre Street on Tuesday, November 13, from 1:00-1:30 p.m.
The crude and brutal suspension of law and the legal system in Pakistan, and the repression of judges and lawyers there, require that we take a moment from our own busy schedules and demonstrate our concern.
Because the images from Pakistan show the violent repression of Pakistani lawyers wearing their customary dark suit and white shirt, we request that you appear on Tuesday in similar attire, though this is not required. What is important is a strong show of support.
Join Jim Dean to Support DFNYC Endorsed Candidate Jimmy Dahroug
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Democracy for NYC cordially invites you to attend a cocktail reception to benefit New York State Senate candidate Jimmy Dahroug, who's running in Suffolk County's 3rd District.
The event will take place at the home of Barbara and Morris Pearl, 1075 Park Avenue (corner of 85th Street) on Tuesday evening November 27 from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. The contribution levels will range from $50 to $2,300. Jim Dean, the chairman of Democracy for America, will be the evening's keynote speaker.
DFNYC members voted unanimously to endorse Jimmy Dahroug for New York's 3rd State Senate District. He was also endorsed by Democracy for America in 2004 and 2006 in his previous attempts to take back this important State Senate seat for the Democratic party. Jimmy ran in 2004 against incumbent Republican Ceasar Trunzo in Suffolk County on Long Island. After earning an impressive 40% of the vote with a grassroots campaign, he went to work for the Administration of Steve Levy, the Suffolk County Executive, as a County Executive Assistant for community affairs and intergovernmental relations. He ran again in 2006, gaining a higher percentage, even after a contested Democratic primary. Jimmy was endorsed by Democracy for America in both races and many DFNYCers joined Long Island volunteers to canvas and phonebank.

Please save the date and help us put Jimmy Dahroug in the New York State Senate - in addition to bringing us one seat closer to having a Democratic majority in the State Senate.
