Hey John -

Super Tuesday is this March 3, 2020 and we want everyone's voices heard in this election. In addition we need all AYD members to reaffirm their membership for the VAYD convention to ensure that the Arlington Young Democrats are represented fully during the convention! Please check out all the cool events we have planned, the information about voting in VA, and so much more!




Final Reminder to Reaffirm Membership
This is a reminder that at the end of March is the annual Virginia Young Democrats (VAYD) Convention and every year, as part of the Convention, all chapters are required to recharter with the Virginia Young Democrats. Chartering with VAYD grants clubs and members numerous privileges throughout the year, including discounted Young Dem rates to events and fun opportunities!

To ensure AYD is fully represented at the convention, we are asking all Arlington Young Democrats to reaffirm their membership information at the link below. Remember, you don’t need an Arlington address to be a member- we accept membership if you live, work, OR play here. In order for us to complete our recharter, members must reaffirm their membership by 11:59 PM ET this Wednesday, March 4. Thank you very much to those who have already done so and we are looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Affirm Membership Now! [[link removed]]

AYD & ARLDems Pheonix Bikes Event
Join AYD and Arlington Dems in lending Phoenix Bikes a hand! [[link removed]]

On Saturday, March 7th, from 10 am -1 pm, AYD and Arlington Dems will volunteer with Phoenix Bikes. We’ll first meet at Phoenix Bikes (909 S. Dinwiddie St, Arlington, VA) and start with a quick orientation and rundown of activities. Afterwards, we will head over to Clarendon/Lyon Village to canvas for bike donations. Around 1 pm we will finish up and head out for some lunch!

About Phoenix Bikes: Phoenix Bikes is a small business in South Arlington with strong ties to their community. Their programs teach teens a trade and provide them with transportation, which is nothing short of inspirational. Participants in their youth program not only learn to refurbish and rebuild a bike to give to someone else, but also receive one in return.
