Grand Street Dems was 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.
Members meet with local elected officials and Democratic candidates, vote for endorsements, and discuss issues affecting our neighborhood, city, state, and nation.
