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.

Sept. Linkup - NYPD Mosque Controversy and Stop and Frisk - Join us to Discuss What We Can Do |

Join us for a special Linkup tomorrow night where we will discuss the latest N.Y.P.D. controversy - labeling entire mosques as "terrorist enterprises" - in order to do surveillance of imams and members, even with no evidence of wrong doing. We'll look at what's happening with this issue, as well as stop-and-frisk, and most importantly, talk about what we can do about it. When the police department engages in an assault on civil liberties, we can often feel helpless to respond. Join us at Linkup where we will discuss strategies for individuals and grassroots groups to change policy policy.
