The NYU College Democrats

This week we will be hosting Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh, who will be discussing the recent campaigns to enact stricter voter-ID laws in various states across the country (which may disenfranchise thousands of voters, most of them minorities, the elderly, and young adults). Prior to the regular meeting, we will be phonebanking with SFBO in the Kimmel 7th Fl Lounge at 6:15 pm!

As always, there will be free food and drinks!

Tomorrow (Thurs, March 29th) is our semi-annual debate with the NYU College Republicans!

The event will be held at 6:00 PM in Kimmel 808, and we will be debating the Affordable Care Act, and gun control.

As always, there will be lively discussion, and free food and drinks!

For our meeting tomorrow (Thurs. March 8, 2012), NYU College Democrats will be co-hosting a “Know Your Rights” training with SSDP!

Come join us in Kimmel 905/907 at 7PM for a panel discussion and “training” session about how to protect your civil liberties when you are dealing with law enforcement officials.

As always, there will be free food and beverages!

For this week’s meeting, we will be phonebanking with Students For Barack Obama (SFBO), starting at 6:15pm in the 7th Floor Student Lounge in Kimmel.
