Location: Union Temple of Brooklyn (Prospect Heights)
Event: 9th District of Brooklyn Town Hall Regarding Trump's First 30 Days
Food: Donuts
Trying to be a politically aware and active millennial in Brooklyn is no easy feat. Especially when there are 1,500 other like-minded people trying to get into the same Jewish temple to engage and listen to Congresswoman Yvette Clarke's town hall presentation and discussion. The struggle of a roach never felt so real. Thank the universe there were piles of donuts, brownies, cookies, blondies, and coffee available for the masses to nosh while writing a very thought-provoking and strongly worded postcard to the 45th president, who shall remain unnamed.

Location: NYU School of Law (Greenwich Village)
Event: Run for Something: Helping Progressives Under 35 Run for Office
Food: Pizza
NYU Law Democrats hosted an event to encourage progressives under 35 to run for political office. I got to pretend to be an NYU Law student for the night, which is a lot safer than that time I pretended to be a pilot. They also served pizza, which is a political candidate I can get behind.
