We cordially invite you to More Than 3 People in a Room, our annual summer fundraising party. Join us on Thursday, June 27 at 6:00pm for an evening filled with food, drinks, great speakers, and music.

Every year, three people in a room in Albany make huge budget and policy decisions for New York – Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. But at the Advocacy Institute, we know that to achieve a more just and equitable New York, we need more than three people in a room – we need strong movements that can hold our elected officials accountable. And this party is an opportunity to celebrate the hard work that New York’s social justice advocates have been doing to build the people power needed to win transformative change.

Joining us for this event will be NY State Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas (AD-34)! We will also be joined by Felicia Singh, Director of Policy & Government Affairs at the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) and former City Council candidate for District 32, and Lukee Forbes, Executive Director of We Are Revolutionary and the Campaign Coordinator for the Hudson Catskill Housing Coalition. Finally, Elz Cuya Jones, North Star Fund Deputy Director and one of our fabulous board members, will be serving as MC!

We hope you'll join us for this special occasion. And if you can't attend the event, you can still make a donation!

Finally, we are so grateful to our sponsors and the members of our host committee for helping to make this event happen!
