Syracuse, NY. --- The Alliance of Communities Transforming Syracuse, an interfaith coalition of about two dozen faith and civic organizations, will hold its annual town hall meeting from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Most Holy Rosary Church, 111 Roberts Ave.
The group last year committed to working on health care, justice, youth and economic development/jobs.
Organizers say they expect about 1,200 people to attend its "Faith & Democracy Action'' meeting.
Public officials and candidates for office have been invited to attend, including the candidates for the 25th Congressional District: Dan Maffei, Dale Sweetland, and Howie Hawkins.
Others expected to attend include Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, state Senators John DeFrancisco and Dave Velesky and Assemblywoman Joan Christensen. Members of the Syracuse Common Council are also expected to attend.
Organizers plan to update the community about what the group has been doing to address affordable housing, health care, education, employment, economic development and jobs.
