The session is a pop-in, happening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. This morning, the following encouragement to attend appeared on the Facebook group "Unfiltered Hudson": "Hudson residents don't let the wealthy classist snobs make the decisions. Get your friends and neighbors to show up en mass and make your voices heard." It is not known if the person posting this message is herself a Hudson resident.
