Lydia Green is an electoral organizer and fourth generation Brooklynite who was born and raised in Park Slope. The daughter of an architect and a divorce mediator, Lydia attended local public schools in New York City and then graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a BA in Linguistics in 2018. Lydia has worked on winning local campaigns, such as Jesse Pierce for District Leader and Jumaane Williams for Public Advocate, and is an active member of many local political organizations, including New Kings Democrats, In the Fight NBK, and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. In addition to her campaign work, Lydia co-authored a bill that added weight and height as protected categories under NYC Human Rights Law. Thanks to Lydia's efforts, this bill was introduced in the City Council in August 2021, with 35 Council members signing on as co-sponsors, and the bill was passed into law in the spring of 2023. Lydia identifies as bisexual and Jewish. She still lives in Park Slope and is running for District Leader to organize in the district she’s called home her whole life.

In her first term, she has been an outspoken champion of justice for all. Whether she’s fighting for an end to the war in Israel and Palestine or increasing party investment in grassroots organizing, Lydia refuses to back down in the face of corruption and disengagement. We need more leaders of moral courage like Lydia.
