Julio Salazar, the community liaison to Congresswoman Velazquez, launched a new civic and political organization in Bushwick, and invites the community to join them at their first meeting later this month.
The BPCC aims to increase local civic engagement to enact change to Bushwick’s current electoral politics. According to the press release, the Club’s purpose is to:
Educate residents on public policy
Increase civic education and participation
Promote a political culture responsive to all residents of Bushwick
Please join us in the inaugural meeting for the Bushwick Political and Civic Club (BPCC)!
