What a week.

Ten years ago, the founders of New Kings Democrats started the club in an effort to increase the transparency and accountability of the Democratic Party in Brooklyn. So much of our work has led to this Thursday, September 27 – the first County Committee meeting of this cycle, and one on which there will be more eyes than ever before.

We've updated our page on County Committee Reform! As we prepare to support a reform leadership slate at the September 27 meeting, here is some information about what you need to do to prepare for the meeting and understand our plan.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 13, 2018 — New Kings Democrats believes Kings County Democratic Party leadership is actively attempting to reduce attendance and participation of County Committee members by scheduling its first meeting of a newly elected body on Thursday, September 27 at 6:00 PM at Kingsborough Community College, located in the far reaches of the borough. The meeting time and location will make it difficult or nearly impossible for many members to attend the meeting. The college is, at best, 20 minutes from the nearest subway station, and the very last stop on the two bus lines that service that neighborhood.
