Thanks to those of you who have signed up to attend Monday night’s fundraiser/conversation in NYC with Rep. James Clyburn (D-South Carolina,) the majority whip in the House of Representatives. It is shaping up to be a great event. Not many slots left, so make sure you sign up quickly if you still want to join us. Contribution levels are $500 and $5000.
Rep. Clyburn sent along this note in advance of the event:
I look forward to joining my friends from Democrats for Education Reform, 100 Black Men, New York Council of Urban Professionals, and others on November 19th in what I know will be a fruitful dialogue that promotes more balanced education policies for our party, raises awareness for our nation’s public charter schools, and reaffirms my support for tax credits for middle-class families.
There are few things that are more vital than ensuring that all of our children have access to a meaningful and productive education. Therefore, I am very appreciative of the opportunity that the Curry family has provided for us to exchange ideas and develop strategies that will benefit our youth and make sustainable investments in the futures of our children and grandchildren.
Thank you in advance for your participation in what I am sure will be an outstanding affair. I look forward to working with many of you in the future on initiatives that advance the agendas of our students and hard-working American families.
