Join us at the next LGDCQ meeting where we will welcome the Queens Memory Project and discuss an important upcoming ballot initiative on convening a state constitutional convention.
Queens Memory Project is a digital archive/website featuring interviews and photos documenting the lives of contemporary Queens residents. People who live in Queens (or used to) can see images of how their communities have changed over the decades and hear the voices of neighbors telling stories that define life in this dynamic and diverse part of the world. The Queens Memory website offers visitors the benefit of seeing these otherwise scattered archival materials and personal stories in one, searchable, user-friendly site of collective memory. The Project is seeking to document stories from LGBTQ Queens residents. Queens Memory Project Director Natalie Milbrodt will share more information on how you can be a part of this important work.
On November 7, 2017, New York voters will be asked to weigh in on a question of vital importance: “Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?” It is a question with extremely high stakes for working families because a constitutional convention could open the door to attacks on a range of rights and benefits now enshrined in the state constitution. UFT's Dermot Smyth will join us to talk about what's exactly at stake.
Our club founder Council Member Daniel Dromm will also be on hand to discuss his work in the NYC Council.
Refreshments will be served.
