Democrats Collective is a collaborative group of organized Democrats joined together to host a forum for Memphis citizens to get to know the candidates seeking election in the 2019 Memphis Municipal Election to be held Thursday, October 3, 2019. On Thursday, August 1, 2019, the Democrats Collective sponsored a free forum for the community featuring the candidates at the Martin Luther King Jr. Labor Center, 485 Beale Street. A total of 45 candidates or their representatives spoke during the two hour event that ran over due to a pause in the program from MPD police issuing tickets that were immediately recalled thanks to one of the event organizers and moderator, Norma Lester (center).
