About Grand Street Democrats

Grand Street Democrats was founded in 2017 to provide a progressive, inclusive, active, and transparent Democratic organization on the Lower East Side, specifically to represent Democratic voters in the 65th Assembly District, Part A.

Following the election of Donald Trump in November 2016, Democrats all over the neighborhood were ready to become more involved politically to make sure the strength of our voice was fully heard to advocate for pro-immigrant, pro-LGBTQ, pro-choice, and pro-public school causes and candidates.

Since then, GSD has established a reputation for supporting progressive candidates and initiatives on the local, state, and national level. Regular meetings allow members to meet with elected representatives, candidates for local office, and other community leaders.
