Washington's 34th District Democrats proudly present BEND IT LIKE BOOKER, a consecutive, 25-hour community event inspired by U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s powerful 25-hour and 5-minute speech delivered on the Senate floor from March 31 to April 1, 2025.
BEND IT LIKE BOOKER will bring together voices from Seattle, Tacoma, and beyond to share informative presentations, personal stories, and artistic performances, that shine a light on those of us who are being harmed by the Trump Administration’s reckless actions. BEND IT LIKE BOOKER seeks to educate our community, illustrating how Trump's specific attempts to undermine our institutions and his disregard for the rule of law affect real people. The event aims to enlighten, uplift, and galvanize our community toward civic engagement, action, and taking care of our neighbors.
Speakers and participants will include elected officials, community leaders, policy experts, artists, and members of the public. Over 50 stories from Washingtonians and other Americans will be shared throughout the event, creating a vibrant and varied tapestry of lived experiences, examples of resistance, and a celebration of our humanity.
Whether attending in person or tuning in online, all are welcome to join this 25-hour event, an expression of democracy in action. Tickets are just $10 (all proceeds go towards covering expenses for BEND IT LIKE BOOKER)
