Who We Are
[Staff Directory]
[2005 NATIONAL SPONSORS]
The National Stonewall Democrats is a grassroots network connecting LGBT Democratic activists from Seattle, Washington to Austin, Texas to Little Rock, Arkansas to Atlanta, Georgia. With more than 90 chapters across the country, Stonewall is a grassroots force for social change within our movement and within our party. Our members do the hard work of calling voters, putting together campaign mailings, going door-to-door for our fair-minded candidates and having tough conversations with Democratic party officials about why our families need and deserve more support from our party and its elected officials.

Regional Directors of the Board of Directors are directly elected by the NSD membership to serve two-year terms. Board Officers, and At-Large Members, are elected by Regional Directors of the Board of Directors.
What does the "Stonewall" in our name mean?
"Stonewall" refers to the Stonewall Inn - a bar in New York City. While a bar may seem an odd namesake for a political organization, the connection is clearly understood by millions of gay and lesbian Americans, and individuals around the world.
