More Than 3 People in a Room

Join us for our annual summer bash!

Don’t miss our annual summer party, More Than 3 People in a Room! Join us on Thursday, June 26, at 6pm at DCTV (87 Lafayette St, New York, NY) for an evening filled with good food, an open bar, fantastic speakers, and great vibes. All proceeds from this event will go towards the work we do to support New York’s social justice organizations with the training and tools they need to push for transformative change at the state and local levels. See you in June!
