The Black & Asian Democratic Caucus was a group of County Legislators in Monroe County, New York that broke away from the Democratic Caucus of the County Legislature in 2020. The claimed rationale behind the split was that the majority of Monroe County Democrats had taken their constituents in the city of Rochester for granted and it was time for them to exercise power on their own. In the time following the formation of the Black & Asian Democratic Caucus, they submitted legislation that otherwise would not have been considered. It was not an officially recognized party by the New York State Board of Elections but rather a Caucus established through a process outlined in the Rules of the Legislature of the County of Monroe. The stated mission of the Caucus was to advocate for the interests of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within Monroe County and strive to eliminate the obstacles that structural racism has exacerbated by championing equity and equality to eliminate disparities between racial and ethnic groups. Their motto was "Purpose over Party."
