Pictures from today's City Hall press conference where preeminent independent political leader Lenora Fulani, with a gathering of some 75-80 representatives of the New York City Independence Party and the Coalition of Outsiders behind her, announced that she has filed papers with the New York City Campaign Finance board authorizing an exploratory committee for a run for citywide office in 2009.
Fulani said:
"Much has been accomplished at the level of bringing politicians and policy makers together under Mayor Bloomberg's stewardship. But lasting solutions come about when regular people come together in thier lives and in their neighborhoods. "Operation Conversation" [Fulani's program in response to the brutal killing of Sean Bell in Queens earlier this year] is one example of the kind of initiative in which the people of this city can more directly take responsibility for public safety. Yes, we have a good police commissioner and his officers have been very responsive to this program. But communication and collaboration among groups that are alienated from one another has to be created "from the bottom up."
I'm working on video.... Stay tuned! In the meantime, see Lenora Fulani's Committee for an Independent New York...
