On November 7, 2017, voters will go into voting booths throughout New York State and, as they are every 20 years, will be faced with the Constitutionally mandated question, ”Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?” (N.Y. Const., Art XIX, sec 2)
Recognizing the importance of this civic participation opportunity, a coalition has been formed to conceive and implement a campaign designed to ensure that each of New York’s voters goes to vote with a clearer sense of what a Constitutional Convention could achieve. This keynote panel discussion is an important part of the coalition’s work.
Discussants: Gerald Benjamin, SUNY New Paltz, Christopher Bopst, Sam-Son Logistics, Inc, Henrik (Hank) Dullea, Cornell University and Peter Galie, Canisius College
Moderator: Robert Bullock, Rockefeller Institute for Government
This program will be held at University of Albany, Assembly Hall
