About Us
Welcome! Village Independent Democrats is a progressive, activist community organization of local Democrats committed to party reform, social justice, equality under the law, and the welfare of all. VID works to reform city, state, and national politics and to ensure progressive political leadership, fair judges, and forward-thinking policies.
VID is open to anyone, wherever you live, and you are invited to participate as you choose. Although members might belong to multiple clubs, VID requires members to vote only in one. We operate on the ground, knocking on doors for endorsed candidates, holding debates and forums for politicians regarding reforms, and engaging with our elected leaders who speak at our meetings.
Born in 1956, VID has a long and colorful history as one of the longest-standing reform Democratic clubs in New York City.
