Special guests will be Brooklyn D.A. Charlie Hynes and New York Supreme Court Justices Barry Kamins and William Miller, who will discuss crime prevention programs and improvements to the court system in Kings County.
Highlights of the Bay Ridge Democrats' inaugural year included a February State of the Union "watch party" so successful it will become an annual event; a non-partisan panel on redistricting reform and gerrymandering in March; a joint effort, in April, with the United War Veterans of Kings County, the UFT Veterans Committee and Ironworkers Local 361 that raised $2,000 to help save the Bay Ridge Memorial Day Parade; a June rally, with the New Kings Democrats and Lambda Independent Democrats, in support of the New York same-sex marriage bill; and a July action, with CWA and IBEW workers, in defense of middle-class jobs.
This fall, the club sponsored its first-ever candidate for State Senate, and ended the year with a holiday benefit for Reaching-Out Community Services’ food pantry in Bensonhurst.
