Independent Caucus NY Senate Democrats Must Unite to Protect NY State from Donald Trump

Unite with fellow Democrats in the New York State Senate to ensure New York can stand strong against a Trump administration.

Why is this important?

Democrats just won a numerical majority in New York's state Senate. But now some senators who were elected as Democrats are considering caucusing with the Republicans.

The Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) is a group of Democrats, many of whom are from New York City, who could stop the party from controlling the New York Senate.

This year, New York must protect against a federal government run by Republicans. We need to

* protect immigrants from deportation,
* defend women's rights,
* protect Muslims in our community,
* defend LGBT rights,
* and so much more...

We demand that Andrew Cuomo and the IDC ensure that New York Democrats are united and empowered against a Trump administration.
