The RCDP will meet on the second Tuesday of every month from 6-7 p.m. Venues change as we like to convene in different parts of the county, but we primarily stay in the Manhattan area. Besides our monthly meetings, we host socials, fundraisers, and volunteer at community events. All of these are great opportunities to meet fellow Democrats, make new friends, and find unity.
