In Nov. 2023, West Essex AYLUS worked with Fang Gong’s team to support Gong’s BOE campaign. Members worked focused on canvassing activities in Nov. using the prepared script and guidance. Members talked to Livingston residents, answered their questions and asked them to vote for Gong on Nov. 7th. Members also attended campaign meetings with Going’s team.
