About Democracy for NYC
Democracy for NYC (DFNYC) is committed to the ideals espoused by Democracy for America, the organization founded by Howard Dean, and the national network of local coalition groups dedicated to the same.
We work both locally and nationally to ensure that fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates are elected at all levels of government. We develop innovative ways to advocate for the issues that matter to our members and support legislation which has a positive effect in our communities. We promote transparency and ethical practices in government. We engage people in the political process and give them the tools to organize, communicate, mobilize, and enact change on the local, state, and national level.

To the DFNYC Community,
We hope you are safe and well in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. It has been a very stressful time for New York City. Along with many allied groups in the progressive community, we are torn on whether to focus on the relief efforts or the elections. We are also mindful that they are connected - both in terms of global warming and Mitt Romney's lack of respect for FEMA. We are promoting both types of volunteer opportunities and we will be updating our website (see calendar on the right) in the critical coming days.
There are many ways to volunteer for the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts: (UPDATED)
A DFNYC volunteer project in the Rockaways is in the works - for either this weekend (Nov 17-18) or the following weekend. Please contact VP Jen at jenberkley-at-dfnyc.org.
