Announcements

Get Out The Vote!

Not Going Back!

This election is crucial for everyone, but the black community is long familiar with the racial bigotry and exclusion that has raised it ugly head, once again. It's time to discuss why your vote is so important and why you can't afford to "sit this one out." Join us for a community discussion at the Elmira Acme Club next Saturday afternoon, October 26th.

Vote early!

Early Voting

Early voting in New York begins on Saturday, October 26th and ends on Sunday, November 4th. Get your vote in early to avoid the last minute rush of crowded lines at the election booth. Find out more information at the Chemung County Board of Elections. Click the link below.

Work with us!

Volunteers are always needed!

We're in a fight like no other election and there is always a need for volunteers. Like Michelle Obama said: "Do Something!" You can, by volunteering at the CCDC Headquarters (110 Main Street, Elmira). You can join our phone back, write post cards to voters, help distribute yard signs or join our (coming soon) Text team. On election day we'll also need folks who are willing to drive people to the polls. This is an "all out" election, and we're not leaving anything on the table. To join us click the link below.

The discussion continues

Reject Project 2025, the discussion continues...

...right here, online. We’ve collected video of the Democratic Steering Committee's Hearing on Project 2025, various presentations, and resources used in the community discussions, here on the website. It's a deep dive into 900+ page document and why it poses a threat to our democracy. Don't just go on what you've heard, do you own research. Plan your own discussion among your friends and neighbors. Get the word out. Do Something...because...we're not going back!

We’re grateful for your donations!
