Did everyone have fun watching the last two pres and vp debates? Okay, so maybe that’s not the word for it, but the League is here to change that.
Putting the “fun” back into “debate,” the PA League has partnered with our old friends at The Shadow Lounge to bring you the debates you’ve been looking for.
Educate yourself on the candidates’ issues while playing our debate bingo for prizes or partake of the Shadow Lounge’s drink specials!
That’s this Tuesday, Oct 7th from 8pm till it’s over, and again Wednesday Oct 15th from 8pm till no one can take it any more. Get there early to get a good seat!

The PA League sponsored a house-party fundraiser at supporter John Rhoades’ home this past weekend. The best part? The theme of the event was Elvis/Welcome to Graceland! In addition to food and drinks, the party featured several DJs, karaoke, and a raffle of custom-made Elvis jackets, to be sent to local poltical figures! Thanks to everyone who came out to support the League and display their Elvis pride!

Black Youth Vote! is not just a program, it’s a movement! BYV! strives to empower and engage young people, ages 18-35, to build our own political power through full civic participation in the political process. Through trainings in civic education, leadership and campaign development, they identify the issues that effect us all and use various tactics to influence public policy. Their goal is to continue to build power in our communities and force politicians to make our issues their issues, with young Black leaders at the forefront of setting the agenda, as resonated by our call for Our Voices, Our Issues, Our Politics. BYV! is a project of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP). For more info log on to http://www.ncbcp.org/byv.html
