Join us for a townhall style forum with numerous candidates on the upcoming October election ballot. The forum will include a Q&A session with the candidates where community members alongside organization representatives and business owners will be given an opportunity to discuss the state of small business growth, homelessness & poverty and economic expansion potential within the region amongst other topics.Following the forum, community members are also invited to attend our voter registration drive event which will take place in Regular Baptist Church's Fellowship Hall across the street. During the Voter Registration Drive, we will be registering new voters, handing out election day information to community members and providing refreshments in a meet in greet style setting. If you are an organization or a small business owner, you’re welcome to request a spot at one of our information tables reserved for your organization/business to engage with the community throughout the event.We look forward to seeing you there!
