A coalition of community groups [led by Make the Road NY] announced today a new initiative to mobilize African American, Latino, and low-income voters in Suffolk County over the course of the next month.

At the press conference for the initiative, I spoke with Daniel Altschuler, the coordinator of the table, as well as several other community leaders and Suffolk residents.
