"Democracy is not about words, but action." Eleanor Roosevelt
Dr. Kalayjian was one of the invited guests on Oct 16, at the Eleanor
Roosevelt Legacy luncheon Honoring Hillary Clinton. The Eleanor
Roosevelt Legacy Committee has become one of the most effective
grassroots political organizations in America – to help continue the
important work of funding, training, and electing pro-choice
Democratic women to state and local office. They honored the memory
of one of America’s finest First Ladies while building a new
generation of leadership for a better future.
The Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy is a political resource and meeting
ground for women involved in New York politics and, in addition,
raises funds dedicated solely of New York Democratic women
candidates. Eleanor Roosevelt had a profound and lasting influence on
the New York State Democratic Party in which she was an active
reformer during critical times. She forged new roles for women in
government and politics and we wish to honor her historic legacy by
building a new generation of New York women candidates and informed
voters and activists.
The goals include:
* to raise funds to elect women to state and local offices;
* to provide political training and leadership development to the women of
New York;
* to increase women’s participation in the political process, both as
activists and as candidates;
* to establish a statewide network of women community leaders, elected
officials, and activists;
* to promote policies that reflect women’s priorities; and
* to communicate the Democratic message to women.
Ms. Hillary Clinton gave a moving presentation on the needs to
move this nation to a healthier future. Dr. Kalayjian and Ms. Clinton
had an opportunity to talk and share common goals and future plans to
collaborate.
