NY17's Schleifer Hosts Special Virtual Coming Together Town Hall 

Adam Schleifer is running for Congress to serve the people of Rockland County and northern & central Westchester County.

On Thursday, May 28th at 6pm, Adam hosted a special version of his weekly policy-focused Virtual Town Hall Series.

The focus of today's Town Hall was Coming Together; aimed at creating a dialogue with community leaders and activists on localizing issues facing NY-17 including immigration reform, bridging racial inequalities, and building a better, more inclusive future for all residents in this uncertain era. The resulting dialogue offered insights into the issues and obstacles facing the Latinx, African American, Haitian American and all under-represented communities in New York's 17 District.

Joining Adam for the engaging virtual panel and discussion streamed on Zoom and Facebook Live were:

• Wilbur Aldridge, Regional Director, Lower Hudson Valley, for the NAACP
• Valerie Eaton, President of the Peekskill Chapter of the NAACP
• Leon Fresco, Immigration Attorney at Holland & Knight and leading legislative voice on immigration policy reform;
• Seema Roc, Founding Member and Board Member of the Haitian American Alliance for Change (HAPAC)
• Lesly Senatus, Co-Host of the Haitian American Radio Panik Show

Adam Schleifer hosts twice-weekly virtual Town Halls on the biggest issues facing the 17th District on Tuesdays at 6pm and Sundays at 2pm.
