Manhattan Democratic Party

Zohran has internalized a rule of politics too many Dems have forgotten: You can’t assume people know about the good things you’re doing! You have to tell them about it, over and over again.

Join the Know Your Rights to Vote session with the DNC and HSDA AANHPI Caucus to learn about voter protections, resources, and how communities can safeguard free and fair elections. 🗓 Thursday, March 19 ⏰ 7:30 PM ET Register here ⬇️ platform.winnable.app/events/dnc-hsd…

“New York has lost a true giant, and I have lost a dear friend.” — County Leader Keith L.T. Wright on the passing of former Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan. Full statement: manhattandemocrats.org/2026/03/statem…

We mourn the passing of Ronnie Eldridge, a towering figure in New York City politics and a fierce champion for the Upper West Side. She lived a long, remarkable life dedicated to this city and its people and her legacy lives on.

He came. He spoke. He described a country that 57% of Americans told pollsters does not exist. He has two years left. Congress does not. #SOTU2026 npr.org/2026/02/23/nx-…

His administration killed two Americans during immigration raids. He has been speaking for more than forty minutes. Still waiting. #SOTU2026

He just used the word affordability. We are going to let that sit for a moment. #SOTU2026

He gave tipped workers a tax break and cut the Medicaid they rely on to see a doctor in the same law. Keep the tip. Lose the doctor! #SOTU2026

The Yale Budget Lab confirmed this month that Trump’s tariffs cancel out what he is calling the largest tax cut in American history. The average American loses $300 even after the refunds. He just took credit for it. Does he not understand his own policy? #SOTU2026

Tonight he will spend approximately ninety minutes describing a country that does not exist to the people paying the price for the one that does. #SOTU2026

He cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and $186 billion from SNAP to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. Tonight he will look working class Americans in the eye and explain why that was actually great news for them. Guess who? #SOTU2026

I’m extremely disturbed and disappointed by the decision of a number of New York City hospitals to cease providing gender-affirming care to all patients under 19 years old. This decision, prompted by the Trump administration’s threat to withhold Medicaid funding at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., will jeopardize the lives and well-being of their patients. Studies have shown that ending gender-affirming care after it has begun without patient consent can carry significant physical and mental health risks. For these young patients, gender-affirming care is life-affirming care.

New York recognized his greatness early, giving him a primary win in 1988; and in 1992 he addressed the nation at the Democratic National Convention held in Manhattan in a way that moved the world. His legacy of justice and moral leadership will never be forgotten. Rest in power.

Manhattan mourns the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson. A champion for civil rights, the marginalized, and the voiceless, he dedicated his life to making this nation live up to its promise.
