Mayoral hopeful Brad Lander outlines his vision for New York City at Brooklyn Heights town hall

With President Donald Trump’s extreme political actions escalating, New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander addressed the concerns of New Yorkers at a town hall at the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn Heights on April 15.

Lander applauded the few hundred concerned citizens who gathered in the church’s historic Gothic revival sanctuary for not giving in to the climate of fear, and emphasized the importance of standing up against authoritarianism through organizing.
