Three months after a “Good Trouble Lives On” rally outside Town Hall, the next local protest organized by People for Democracy East Hampton happens on Saturday, in a vastly different political landscape.

The Hamptons International Film Festival has been a significant industry event for over three decades now. As this year’s festival came and went, four organizers at the helm reflected on how it has evolved, and where it will go from here.

“People have a perception of me as a fighter, but my way of tackling a problem is to bring as many voices as possible to a table. I love a big table. I look at the science behind issues and spend time analyzing data and trends," said East Hampton Town Councilwoman Cate Rogers, who is running for re-election.

Representative Nick LaLota took questions from callers in an Oct. 8 “tele-town hall” during which he repeatedly blamed Senate Democrats for the government shutdown, defended provisions in the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill, and ignored a Jeffrey Epstein question.
