You are respectfully requested and invited to submit public comments to the Kings County Democratic Task Force on Gender Discrimination and Representation concerning the present Rules governing the composition of the County Committee of the Kings County (Brooklyn) Democratic Party.
More specifically, at issue is the provision that “the representation of each Election District shall be equally divided between men and women.” This effectively prevents nonbinary individuals from serving and also serves as a barrier to women from filing for more than 50% of the County Committee’s positions.
As part of this Request and Invitation for Public Comments, we present various proposals which have been submitted as a framework for discussion ― but without foreclosing other possible solutions. You may comment on these proposals and/or submit your own.
*NOTE* YOU CAN VIEW ALL THE PROPOSALS ON PAGE 12 OF THE REQUEST AND INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS LOCATED HERE:
