CBIDFed Opening Fundraiser
Wednesday 6/13 from 6-9pm at the Monro (481 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215)
$1 off Happy Hour all night!  

We recently opened up a separate Federal PAC to allow CBID to donate to Federal candidates like Max Rose, David Pechchefsky and Liuba Grechen Shirley. We've never been able to donate to Congressional candidates before, but this year it is so important that Democrats take back the House that we cannot sit idly by.  Please help us support our local Democratic Congressional candidates.

Join WHARR, Get Organized BK and RunNYC to support Liuba Grechen Shirley's campaign for congress against Republican incumbant Peter King. Liuba is a progressive powerhouse, dedicated to families, kids, women, healthcare for all and the diversity that makes America great. She's already accomplished a great deal as a candidate-- including spearheading a landmark FEC decision to allow candidates who have young children to use campaign funds for childcare.

The Federal Primary is June 26th, and Liuba needs YOUR support to ensure her campaign has the resources to win. Please join us for snacks, drinks, a chance to meet Liuba and to hear about summer volunteer opportunities.
