The Filipino American Democratic Club of New York (FADCNY) is a political club that organizes and leads the Filipino American electorate in New York City and New York State. We are dedicated to advancing Filipino American and Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) issues and priorities among elected officials and candidates for public office. Our main priorities include the promotion of a progressive platform of the Democratic Party and fair and just representation for Filipinos in politics and government. The Club welcomes participation from all New Yorkers interested in supporting Filipino American & AAPI priorities. To achieve our mission, the Club will organize and unite the Filipino American community and those who support their issues and priorities to: vigorously participate in the electoral process through canvassing and Get Out the Vote operations; register voters who support the Club’s mission; evaluate candidates for elected and appointed public office and actively support those candidates who best promote the Club's mission; identifying leaders for appointments and elections within the Democratic Party at all levels, ranging from judicial delegates, county and state committees, to district leaders, presidential primary delegates, and national committees; increasing the number of Filipino Americans who are engaged in civic leadership through appointments to various local boards and committees, positions such as community boards, community education councils, precinct community councils, neighborhood advisory boards, and community action boards; and actively support the election and appointments of progressive Filipino American and AAPI candidates. In addition, the Club will organize public events such as candidate and issue forums; evaluate pending legislation, adopt public positions, and advise the Filipino community and the public at large of the Club's recommendations; build coalitions with other organizations that support the Club's mission; and increase the Club's visibility and influence by advocacy, community action, and organizing.
