For reborn political club, there’s power in numbers
One Flatbush political club is hoping to swell its ranks, and, at the same time, bring more attention to the neighborhood , marking its intentions with a new name.
The P20 Political Club, originally launched by City Councilmember Jumaane Williams in 2012, was re-launched and re-christened on Monday, February 28 at D’Savannah, a watering hole on Flatbush Avenue near Glenwood Road.
There, an SRO crowd applauded wildly as the new name for the club – the Ernest McD. Skinner Political Association — was announced, in honor of one of the deans of the neighborhood’s political scene, who has been a mentor to many people – including Williams — over the years.
