We ask the public to greet us at socially distant spots along the shore with signs to promote get out the vote!  Prepare to share photos and video with friends and family living in NY and other states to boost enthusiasm.  Best viewing is from Whole Foods esplanade, Third Avenue Bridge, and the small parking lot at the end of 2nd Avenue off 6th St. lot).

Performances by Shequida Hall (brought to you by The American Opera Project, Make Music New York, and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs) and the Metropolitan Horn Ensemble.
