The New York City Independence Party (NYCIP) set out 18 years ago with a single idea: to create a new and Independent reform movement of New Yorkers from all walks of life.
NYCIP has over 100,000 members in New York City, 3,200 joined local county committees in all five boroughs, and 82 members are on the Executive Committee. I served 4 terms (eight years) on the State Committee and still serve on the Executive Committee representing the 73rd Assembly District, the middle and upper Eastside of Manhattan.
We support political reforms that bring the one million New York City independents into the heart of the political process, such as nonpartisan municipal elections, seating independents on the Board of Elections, and making sure that good policy rather than partisan politics guide the running of the city.
Our 14th Annual Anti-Corruption Awards will take place on Sunday December 8, 2013, from 2pm to 4pm, at the Tribeca Grill.
We are commemorating the 25th anniversary of Dr Lenora Fulani's historic run for president in 1988, and the theme of this years event is Independents Coming Together. On behalf of the entire event committee, I hope you can join us this Sunday and show your support.
The Anti-Corruption Awards are our premier event of the year, as well as our largest fundraiser. We are near our $75,000 goal and now is the time to go all in and break some records! Even if you cannot to attend, Buy a ticket! We can send someone in your place, a young person who would be inspired by the environment, or an activist of limited means who couldn't necessarily afford to be there on their own.
Every dollar we raise at this year's Anti-Corruption Awards goes into building our movement. Particularly after the government shutdown, our message of structural reform has never been more relevant, and our national slate of honorees Steve Richardson, Catana Barnes and Rick Robol are playing important roles in building our movement across the country. These are exciting times to be an independent, and I am excited to see where we all take this movement together.
I received my award in 2008.
