The Grand Street Dems were formed in September of 2017 to build a new Democratic club around Grand Street and the Lower East Side—one that is inclusive, progressive and active. As such our focus has expanded beyond our traditional roles (holding open forums and endorsing candidates, petitioning and campaigning) to include ones that more generally affect our community such as environmental concerns, immigration rights, traffic conditions, and others as they arise. Grand Street Democrats hold regular open meetings, neighborhood events and forums for the entire community. We encourage you to learn more, become a member and actively participate.
