Dear fellow Brooklynites,

Happy 4/20 (i.e., New York State Constitution Day)!

As you know, BYD is a proud member of a borough-wide coalition to create a Brooklyn Democratic Party that is transparent, honest and committed to serving the people of our borough.

Right now, we're facing a crucial challenge in that fight.

Several of our endorsed reformer District Leader candidates, along with some County Committee candidates, are facing a deluge of lawsuits from the County party, which is trying to overwhelm us and knock our candidates off the ballot.

We need your help: if you're free this weekend, join us for petition data entry. If you're available during the week, meet us at the courthouse in Downtown Brooklyn to help our lawyer complete petition line-by-line reviews.

This is a make-or-break moment: we can't elect transformative candidates if we don't get them on the ballot.
