Here's the link to the NYC District 1 Candidates Forum. If you were like me, and could not attend, check it out.
Rally To Support John Liu
In Chinatown, John Liu is a superstar. There hasn't been one business, where I haven't seen his poster plastered up.
Tomorrow from 5-6pm in Chatham Square there will be a rally for John Liu. He is currently running for City Comptroller. They are calling for supporters and volunteers. Election is right around the corner! Hope that you will come and support.

NYC Council District 1
The Chinatown area is part of NYC's District 1. Right now the candidates for City Council are Alan Gerson, PJ Kim, Margaret Chin, Pete Gleason, and Arthur Gregory.
On Thursday, there will be a Candidates Forum at PS 124 from 6-9pm. If you live or work in the area, drop by to hear what the candidates are about. Translations will also be done in Mandarin and Cantonese.
This year, the candidates are very diverse and I expect that it will be an interesting race. Hope that you can make the forum and get involved with local politics!
