Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the government has banned public ceremonies and the mass placement of flags on graves at the country's 142 national cemeteries. With almost 4.9 million people interred in the cemeteries, thousands would attend memorial events and help mark graves with flags during a typical Memorial Day weekend. (AP Photo/Jay Reeves)

Your staff of Insiders is taking this Memorial Day off, but allow us to point you to our upcoming virtual town hall on Wednesday to discuss all things political ahead of the June 9 primary.

Usually, we would hold this event at a local watering hole and dub it Pints & Politics. That doesn’t right now. Instead, we hope you can join AJC Editor Kevin Riley and us for an in-depth conversation streamed live through Facebook and YouTube.

Meet Insiders Greg Bluestein, Jim Galloway and Tia Mitchell and hear the latest election news, what congressional and legislative races to watch – plus, we’ll answer your questions about state and local politics.

The town hall will stream live 5-6 pm. Wednesday. We encourage you to register (it's free) at AJC.com/conversation.

And have a thoughtful Memorial Day.
