This year we have a second NY primary election on August 23rd for newly-drawn Congressional Districts and State Senate Districts (thanks, NY Court of Appeals!). It's confusing, but our Political Affairs Committee has put together an August 2022 Voter Guide to help you learn about the Democratic candidates on your Brooklyn ballot. Check it out and be sure to vote — early voting is August 13-21 and Election Day is August 23.

JOINT STATEMENT from NKD and South Central Brooklyn United for Progress

After Brittany Ramos-DeBarros was the only candidate to confirm her participation, local political clubs canceled the NY-11 Congressional Forum scheduled for August 1. We underscore the need for candidates to directly engage with the constituents they hope to represent.

This Saturday August 6th from noon-3pm, join us for NKD's annual picnic! We'll meet on the lawn N of the Picnic House in Prospect Park — look for the NKD banner. Bring a snack to share, or just bring yourself. All are welcome!
