Join the Park Slope Civic Council and community co-sponsors for a Candidates’ Forum for the 39th District primary on the New York City Council on Sunday, May 23, 2021 at 5:00 PM. RSVP here.
The 39th Council District covers all of what is thought of as Park Slope, as well as adjacent neighborhoods to the northwest and south. District maps are available here. The current Council Member, Brad Lander, has held the position since 2009 and, due to term limits, cannot run for reelection. As a result, candidates are running for an open seat.
Weather permitting, the event will be held outside on the field behind the Old Stone House. Enter on 4th Street, between 5 and 4th Avenues. Bring a chair or a blanket. We will have limited seating available for those who prefer. If weather does not allow for an outdoor event, we will hold the forum over Zoom.
MANY THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND CO-SPONSORS
Old Stone House, Community Board 6, the 5th Avenue Business Improvement District, Park Slope Parents, and Park Slope Neighbors
