Join SDNYC on Wednesday April 16th as we meet to endorse candidates for New York City Council!

Candidates who are seeking our endorsement have submitted questionnaires responding to a range of questions about issues important to the LGBTQ community. On April 16th, we have invited all candidates to come and speak to our members. Following the meeting, a ballot will be sent to all eligible SDNYC Members to vote. See our 2025 Endorsement page for details on membership and eligibility! We look forward to seeing you in person on April 16th at 6:30pm at the LGBT Center (208 W 13th St) in Room 310.

Stay tuned: endorsements for Borough and Citywide races will be in person on April 23rd. Questionnaires from candidates seeking our endorsement coming soon.
