TONIGHT
Volunteer for Allyn Crawford for Civil Court Judge

Wednesday — July 15th — 5:30PM-7:30PM

In loving Memory of Jim Smith

The Young Democrats of Richmond County mourn the loss of one of our own, former YDRC President, Jim Smith.

Jim was an advocate for the LBGTQ+ community, including being a founding member of the SI Pride Center, and the first Grand Marshal to Staten Island PrideFest.

He was mentor to many, and a friend to all who knew him.

Donations in Jim's honor can be sent to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. Please mention Jim in the remarks section of your donation.
