The systems and procedures that drive democracy are often obscured from the view from the very people it’s meant to serve. This workshop opens up these topics, and others, which are ignored by political science classes, the media and even Wikipedia pages.
We’ll be covering topics such as:
– Political Geography
– The Party Structure in America
– How to engage in the existing system for real effect
This workshop will be lead by Ben Yee. The information he’ll be sharing has enabled him to take on establishment leaders to become the current Secretary of the Manhattan Democratic Party and State Committeeman for the 66th Assembly District.
**Here’s what people who attended the last one had to say:
I would absolutely recommend it to others. I had no idea about the majority of any of this. I liked the information plus the one-liners you threw in to keep everyone’s attention in the hot room. – Brooke
I guess what I liked the most is the tangible sense that knowledge is power. I also appreciated your candid, near-neutral description of what is. – Tom
I would absolutely recommend this to others. I knew some about the local and state political structure but this solidified it in my mind and made it easier for me to explain it to others. I’m looking forward to the next meeting when we start talking about organizing. – Colleen
Your presentation was one of the best I’ve heard on how government and politics really works. – Laura
I liked the depth and clarity of the information presented. – Ken
The workshop to others because it was not only informative, but it was also empowering. I learned a lot of how the government works, and this information does not seem easily accessible. I believe others can really benefit from this, as I have, and hopefully we can all work together to make some positive changes in the future. – Beth
I would absolutely recommend this workshop to others; I went to it wanting actual concrete action steps I can take to fight back against the incoming tyranny of Donald Trump, and this workshop gave me real, actionable information I couldn’t find anywhere else. – Laurie
