Democracy for NYC was started in 2004 by former volunteers of Gov. Howard Dean's presidential campaign.
Join us as we make our voices heard on the issues:
● We want to overturn Citizens United & get Big $ out of politics.
● We want women, not politicians, to have control over their own bodies.
● We want marriage equality in all 50 states, a repeal of DOMA (Done!), and an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation.
● We want an economic policy that creates good sustainable jobs, not bailouts and deregulation for big banks.
● We want to stop fracking of natural gas in NY and across America.
● We want smart foreign policy, not the endless wars and excessive military contracting of the Bush years.
● We want to reform Albany & pass budgets on time.
● We want smart, creative policies to reduce crime, not excessive use of stop-and-frisk by local police and unchecked electronic surveillance by the federal government.
● We are happy that President Obama’s Affordable Care Act was upheld and we're continuing the push to ensure that every American has quality, accessible health care.
● We want so much more – including immigration reform, tenants rights, safe drinking water, a fair tax system, an end to excessive unchecked government surveillance, the list goes on!
● We want to elect candidates that are socially progressive and fiscally responsible - from President to local Democratic District Leader.
