Democratic elected officials from Brooklyn overwhelmingly slammed Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn’s announced plans to rewrite party rules in order to keep herself in power. Bichotte faces a coming leadership vote after a new majority of District Leaders, who make up the party’s Executive Committee, were elected by Brooklyn voters in the June primary. She is now trying to rig that vote in her favor by packing the committee with dozens of her handpicked supporters. The coalition opposing this power grab will rally outside Brooklyn Borough Hall at 3pm Monday, August 24 to protest the Party Chair’s attempt to undemocratically overturn the results of the June primary elections. We will also rally at the same location at 5pm for those who can't get there by 3pm. You can read more about this in the links at the top. Please join us!
