PHILADELPHIA, February 22, 2017 — State Sen. Vincent Hughes invites the public to participate in an upcoming community forum that will focus on public engagement on legislative issues in Harrisburg and Washington, DC.

The community forum will take place on Wednesday, March 1 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Science Center Theater at Montgomery County Community College, located at 340 Dekalb Pike in Blue Bell.

“People are engaged in democracy and want to take the next step and get more involved. It’s important for folks to know that their voice can and should be heard, and this forum is an opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns, and meet individuals and groups who are actively involved in the community,” said Hughes (D-Philadelphia/Montgomery). “Let’s turn our interest into engagement, our passion into policy, and our anger into action by coming together to for a lively discussion on the matters that affect all of us.”
