We have invited up to five of the top Democratic candidates to attend the People's Presidential Forum. Candidates will be invited onstage for real conversations with everyday people about big solutions to the struggles facing the multiracial working class. In other words, people will be on stage asking the questions, not pundits.
This forum is being sponsored by Rights & Democracy, the New Hampshire Youth Movement, and People's Action, along with additional support from the Center for Popular Democracy, Demos Action, and several grassroots organizations from throughout the Northeast.
This will be a unique presidential forum in what is anticipated to be an historic election—one in which the grassroots will help to determine who will be on the ballot in November 2020.
See you on the bus!
