All friends and neighbors are welcome to participate regardless of membership status.
Join Senator Robert Jackson, all members, and supporters of Uptown Community Democrats.
It is okay to grieve. It is okay to be anxious. It is okay to be hurt.
The results of the election have made clear that our work defending and promoting democracy are more important than ever. We must not allow ourselves to fall into despair, even as we reconcile with the reality that so many fellow Americans - and fellow New Yorkers - have expressed their support for a political ideology that is antithetical to everything we hold dear in our hearts.
There will be hard conversations, including with our own friends and family members. But we should remain focused on what we have in common and redouble our efforts to lead with kindness and love, recognizing the universal humanity that we each have within ourselves.
Over the next two years, we will have local and state elections to choose who will represent our city and state in the face of a federal government who cannot be trusted to promote the general welfare of our beloved uptown community.
We need leaders who can protect our communities. We need leaders who can stand up to fascism. We need leaders who uphold the core civic ideals that our nation has been built upon.
We need each of you to stand up for future generations, because we refuse to go down without a fight.
In solidarity,
Johanna and Ned
