Staten Island Pride Fest is Saturday, July 12 and the only city-wide LGBT Democratic club will be represented. SDNYC members will be at our booth at the Pride . Come by to discuss candidates, campaigns, and current status of LGBT issues in New York. Come out to the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, North Meadow any time between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. See you there!
Thank you to the more than forty people who joined SDNYC at the NYC Heritage of Pride March and to the amazing spectators for cheering us on as we danced/marched our way down 5th Ave. and into the West Village!
SDNYC is proud to march in the parade and to honor the real reason for the day - remembering those who fought for our right to march openly and committing to continue to fight for full equality for the entire LGBT community!

The Heritage of Pride March is this Sunday, June 29.
SDNYC is group #17 and will be in SECTION 3 of the parade lineup on 39th St. between 5th & 6th Ave. SDNYC group leaders will be in the lineup beginning at 10:30 AM. Please plan to arrive at the Section 3 parade lineup no later than 12:00 PM.
Stonewall Democrats will be vocal and visible at this year's parade with a (small) float and a live DJ making sure everyone is having a great time. This is a big tent event, and we want all of our members, our members' families and friends, elected officials, and members of allied groups to join us as we celebrate NYC PRIDE all the way down 5th avenue and into the West Village while honoring the real reason for the day - remembering those who fought for our right to march openly and committing to continue to fight for full equality for the entire LGBT community. So dress festively and comfortably and be prepared to shake a tail feather and make some noise as we head down to Christopher Street!
For those of you marching with elected officials or other political clubs, many of the elected officials, political campaigns and political clubs will also be in Section 3 so stop by, say hello and march with us for a block or two even if you are marching with another group!

Parade Grand Marshals--
There are many events scheduled before Sunday's parade. For information about other 2014 Pride events go to SDNYC.org/pride !
June 2014 is already a precedent setting pride. Bill de Blasio became the first standing mayor of New York City to march the Queens Pride this past Sunday, June 1st.
Pride Month is far from over though and there are ongoing activities in every borough throughout June and into July. Stonewall Democrats will be at each event and encourage your attendance.
We'll be adding details as they become available! Happy Pride!
This morning, Adriano Espaillat was endorsed by the New York Times! Last month, Stonewall members voted overwhelmingly to support the Senator in his race to win NY's 13th Congressional district seat. You can read the full endorsement here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/19/opinion/espaillat-for-congress.html?ref=opinion.
With Election Day only five days away, it's time for Stonewall Members to come out to support Adriano Espaillat. Our members are needed every day from now until Tuesday. And this Saturday at noon, join us for a rally and march at the intersection of 135th street and Broadway.
If you want to volunteer over the next five days, please call our Vice President Richard at 347-334-1600, or e-mail r-allman@pacbell.net.
