Ultimate Verbal Smackdown: 33rd District Council Forum

RUMBLE IN NORTH BROOKLYN:
THE ULTIMATE VERBAL SMACKDOWN IS COMING TO
33RD COUNCIL DISTRICT RACE

Coalition of Community Groups to Hold City Council Forum
Tuesday, July 28th, 7-9pm

In a match held only once this century, seven City Council candidates will grapple with the issues important to North Brooklynites to help voters decide who will best be able to serve Greenpoint and Williamsburg in the City Council. Candidates will attempt their best verbal wrestling moves, although any metal chairs present will be for sitting and the only sleeper holds allowed are those that require a firm grasp of zoning law.


The Ultimate Verbal Smackdown forum will focus on the major issues facing North Brooklyn: affordable housing, open space, transportation, public safety, environment, quality-of-life, education and youth. The forum will be moderated by Susan Albrecht, Co-Chair of NAG.

The forum will also feature a "people's choice" question--which the public can help write and select online.

Co-sponsored by NAG, GWAPP, St. Nick's NPC, People's Firehouse Inc., Los Sures and El Puente, the event aims to educate the public and promote discussion about the issues the organizations work on daily. All organizations are non-partisan and will not endorse a candidate in the race.
