Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City tells Mayor Adams to resign

The Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City, a citywide LGBTQ political club, called on Mayor Eric Adams to resign Oct. 6 after members held an emergency vote in response to the mayor’s federal indictment.

“While every individual is entitled to a presumption of innocence in the court of law, New Yorkers deserve a mayor we can trust, and whose undivided focus is on governing the city,” the club said in a statement released on Oct. 6. “We must be confident that our city’s leadership is responding to the needs of New Yorkers, and not those of special interests.”
