Sunday Platform with The League of Women Voters NYC: Constitutional Conversations
Free in-person and online!
Join a conversation about what the U.S. Constitution means today. As we celebrate the nation’s 250th Anniversary, let’s take a look at the document that formed this new government.
Our conversation is guided thanks to a video the League of Women Voters produced featuring Heidi Schreck, award winning playwright of “What the Constitution Means to Me” and law professor Ally Coll, CUNY Law School. Heidi and Ally ask students about what the Constitution means to them, and our group will pick up on that conversation. No prep required. Through dialogue and action, we defend democracy together. Total time: 60 minutes.
Community lunch follows, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program.

About Barbara Ettington, Board Director

Barb began volunteering for the League in 2014, joined in 2015, and served as Chair of Voter Services from 2016-2019. In addition to serving as a Board Director since July 2020, she sits on the Board’s Budget & Finance Committee.

About Stacey Lesser, Vice President of Communications
Stacey joined the LWVNYC in 2022, and initially became an active member of the Development Committee. She was asked to take on responsibility for the League newsletter the following year – a natural fit given that her engagement with the League followed her retirement from a career in Advertising where she served as Chief Strategic Officer at a number of large NYC agencies. As VP Communications she seeks to ensure the activities of the Chapter receive as wide an audience as possible, and is working to create the balance between maintaining the appreciation for the long-standing values and tenets of the LWV and the evolving voice of the organization. She is a native New Yorker and a long time resident of Tribeca. She has a long history of involvement in political issues and is bringing that experience and passion to bear in her new role.
