About this event
Join Unite NY for an exclusive panel discussion on Wednesday, July 29, at 6:00 PM at The Argus Hotel, as we deconstruct one of the most significant voting rights victories in New York's recent history!
We are honored to host David Imamura and Amy B. Marion, the lead attorneys behind the landmark case that brought proportional Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) to Newburgh. In a settlement that set a statewide precedent, Newburgh successfully moved to a system that ensures every community has a seat at the table. This landmark case proves that systemic reform isn't just possible, but achievable through strategic legal and political action.
What you will learn:
- The Legal Roadmap: How the New York Voting Rights Act was used to challenge the status quo and win.
- Strategic Lessons: What Albany advocates can take away from Newburgh's successful transition.
- The Path Forward: How we can build a broad coalition of civic leaders to advance RCV in the Capital Region.
Whether you are a longtime advocate for election reform or simply curious about how we can improve our local democracy, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Space is limited, so please RSVP today to secure your spot.
