Thanks to all for joining us on Tuesday night for an active, packed meeting.
- Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado zoomed in to encourage everyone to stand up for our democracy, keep attending rallies, speaking up and resisting. We hope to hear more from him in the coming months on how he plans to lead Democrats in this endeavor.
- MBP candidate Brad Hoylman-Sigal, Councilmember Chris Marte, District Leader candidates Joe Gordon and Jessica Kramer, staff from Mark Levine and Congressman Dan Goldman shared info to help them campaign.
- Pat Arnow educated us on May Day history and rally.
- Sommer Omar presented on a coalition to stop the destruction of the beloved Tony Dapolitano Recreation Center in the West Village. Members voted to join the coalition.
- Mariama James and Barbara Capparelli presented the work of 9/11 Environmental Action World Trade Center Health Program Outreach, whose goal is to raise awareness of 9/11 health issues and options for treatment among community residents and those who worked, went to school or happened to be present in the area of the World Trade Center on September 11th. They service a continually growing list of health conditions and implore affected people to sign up for WTC coverage.
- The club voted on a resolution “Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo for Mayor” based on the 2021 sexual harrassment/retaliation findings, his violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Congress finding him accountable for his tragic Covid-19 nursing home policy and cover up. Grand Street Democrats encourages voters in New York City to leave Andrew Cuomo off their ranked choice ballots in the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor.
