[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Brooklyn's elected Democratic leaders have spoken out overwhelmingly to condemn the Party Chair's attempted last-ditch rules changes.

This kind of anti-democratic power grab goes against everything our party stands for, and it must not succeed.

[Shahana Hanif @ShahanaFromBK]

Rewriting the rules because you don’t like the outcome sounds a lot like the MAGA extremism Brooklyn Democrats should be fighting.

Grassroots organizers out-knocked the establishment and won more seats. It’s time to respect the results and move the Brooklyn Democratic Party forward.

[Malynda Rascoe @Malynda_Vegan]

Not only is this yet ANOTHER countywide embarrassment, it is also an unnecessary distraction. With ~74 days until the general election, our sole focus as a Party should be on winning southern Brooklyn and defeating Blakeman.

Sis, please resign at the end of your term.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

As a State Rep, working families have always been my priority.

Now, as your Democratic candidate to represent FL in the U.S. Senate, I’m ready to work harder than ever to earn your trust & vote. We deserve Florida leaders that put you first!

We cannot ask voters to trust the Democratic Party while disregarding their will when it becomes politically inconvenient. The values we defend in public must also govern how we conduct ourselves within our own party.

[Nydia M Velázquez @ReElectNydia]

This is exactly the kind of machine politics that makes Americans lose faith in our system. A blatant, undemocratic attempt to hold onto power and block reform.
Let Brooklyn Democrats pick their own leaders.

[Chi Ossé @OsseChi]

Corrupt, anti-democratic, and utterly embarrassing.

The Brooklyn Democratic Party deserves better leadership than whatever this is.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

The Brooklyn Democratic Party leadership must respect the results of the June elections and the will of voters, not change the rules in a backroom deal in an attempt to cling to power.

Brooklyn Democrats deserve new leadership.

[Citizens Union @CitizensUnionNY]

Rewriting the rules after voters have cast their ballots in an attempt to stay in power is a blatant subversion of the democratic process. Proposing this on the eve of an expected ouster is not a “reform to expand participation and transparency,” but a reckless power grab.

I’ve seen this movie before.

[Yvette D. Clarke for Congress @VoteYvette]

Brooklyn Democrats deserve a county organization that respects its members and operates with fairness and transparency.

Altering the rules and/or who gets a say just before a leadership election raises very serious concerns about the integrity of the process.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Amazon Teamsters, with the support of a supermajority of the New York City Council and Mayor Zohran Mamdani, are about to make a historic breakthrough to hold the $3 trillion corporation accountable by passing the Delivery Protection Act.

Nothing can stop the strength and solidarity of the Teamsters Union.

[Phara Souffrant Forrest @phara4assembly]

Changing the rules to benefit those already in power is not strengthening the party, it’s corrupting it. I’m calling this power grab out for what it is: Unjust!

[Kayla Santosuosso @kaymsanto]

The Kings County Un-Democratic Party, folks.

In a time of fascism, our local Democratic party leader is spending her time disenfranchising voters, attempting to undo the results of a democratic election, and desperately trying to hold onto power.

A total embarassment.

[Chris Sosa @ChrisSosa]

Imagine devising a scheme to maintain your personal power that is so antidemocratic that the U.S. House Minority Leader and New York State Attorney General feel compelled to get involved.

[Crystal Hudson @crystalforbk]

Why worry about Republicans trying to steal elections in battleground states when we have Democrats stealing elections right here in Brooklyn?

What a disgrace.

[Rebecca C. Lewis @_rebeccaclewis]

State Dems Chair Jay Jacobs is not behind BK Dems Chair Rodnyese Bichotte Hermelyn's bid to expand BK's executive board, a thinly veiled attempt to give her enough votes to prevent her likely ouster. Jacobs says "the timing of this change stands to do more damage than good."

[Sandy Nurse @SandyforCouncil]

Bushwick is flooding again. This can't keep being normal! Our neighbors shouldn’t have to live on high alert during every rain event.

Thank you to our city workers out clearing it up as we speak!
