#FamiliesBelongTogether Rally At U.S. Attorney's Office
Date and time:
Friday, June 1, 12:00 PM
Location:
United States Attorney's Office
271 Cadman Plaza East
Brooklyn, NY 11201
Hosts:
ACLU People Power
We need to raise our voices against they key actors who are carrying out Trump’s family separation order: ICE and U.S. Attorneys. ICE apprehends and separates families while US Attorneys enforce the separation in legal proceedings. We need to stand up against this incompetence and the moral abomination of family separation.
We're excited to be partnering with the National Domestic Workers Alliance, MomsRising, United We Dream, MoveOn and many others to hold family-friendly rallies across the country. Bring your friends, wheel your stroller on over, grab your lunch boxes, and make your family's voice heard loud and clear, that #FamiliesBelongTogether

Politics 101 is a deep dive into the hidden mechanisms that drive politics and political decision making in the United States. The systems and procedures of power in our democracy are often obscured from the view of the very people it’s meant to serve. This workshop addresses several key topics which are ignored by political science classes, the media and even Wikipedia pages. Over the course of the workshop, we will cover: Election Law, Political Geography, Money in Politics, The Party Structure in America and how to engage in the existing system for real effect.
Taught by Benjamin Yee, Secretary of the New York County Democratic Party and Democratic State Committeeman, this workshop will give attendees an insider’s view of the American political system.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- How political parties are structured in America
- How to engage in the existing system for real effect
- Political geography in America
WHO THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR
People who want to understand the political system in America
**SPACE IS LIMITED**
