BREAKING---SAVE ACT - HOUSE ADVANCES VOTER ID BILL
Key Points--The SAVE America Act — supported by President Donald Trump — would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID at the ballot box. The legislation would make it harder to vote, Democrats and voting rights groups warn, and has been the subject of a pressure campaign from the White House, congressional GOP hard-liners and right-wing influencers. Now that the bill has advanced out of the House, it has slim odds of passing in the Senate, where 60 votes are needed to overcome a filibuster.

7:30 PM - 9:00 PM--Thinking about the shooting in Australia and the many acts of evil against our people, what can we, as Jews, do to combat antisemitism? Although we may be a "light to the nations", the world doesn't seem to appreciate our "light". We were promised to be "as numerous as the stars", but were we destined to also be the target of hate? Come and hear the thoughts of Rabbi Polish and perhaps you'll come away with how to act against and respond against the current wave of hate.

TOWN OF CORTLANDT HONORS OUR NATION'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY AND THE ROLE OF HISTORICAL CORTLANDT
Semiquincenntenial - A new and weekly series of postings detailing the role of Historical Cortlandt in America!!
In honor of our 250th Anniversary, the Town of Cortlandt is creating a weekly series of postings about historic sites within our town. Cortlandt was founded 12 years after Independence, in 1788. But the original settlers came much earlier, in the 17th century. The Town of Cortlandt played a major part in the fight for freedom and the founding of our country. Each week, we will showcase a different location within Cortlandt, providing the historical significance of each with photographs and descriptions.
PLEASE HELP US…if you know of historically significant areas in your part of town, please let us know! Send us the locations and what you know about them. Provide information and photographs. We will choose one area each week to highlight. Don’t be discouraged if it takes some time for us to post about your area; it is a big town of almost 50 square miles, with a tremendous treasure trove of history. But we have the whole year! Send your suggestions to TOC250@townofcortlandtny.gov.
We are grateful for the input of the Van Cortlandt Historical Society’s Jeff Canning and Hendrick Hudson’s Living History Teacher Joseph Ryan for their professional assistance.
Here's our first posting: The Little Red School House, on Locust Avenue, just south of Oregon Road. It is now the home of the Van Cortlandtville Historical Society. GO TO Semiquincenntenial - Town of Cortlandt, NY
