December Young Dem of the Month
Congratulations to Sunni Vargas, our December Young Dem of the Month! Sunni's dedication to environmental protection, grassroots organizing, and social justice is inspiring. As a first-generation college student at Monmouth University, Sunni pursued a Bachelor's degree in political science with a concentration in international relations. Her involvement with the university's policy debate team and independent study on Palestinian-Israeli multi-state sustainable and equitable policy solutions highlights her dedication to policy research, analysis, and promoting global understanding. Her involvement as an elected Democratic County Committeewoman and her roles in several local Democratic organizations demonstrate her commitment to active participation in the political landscape. Joining New Jersey LCV was a natural fit for Sunni, as she sought to be part of a growing organization with a welcoming culture. Sunni's dedication to educating others about offshore wind power, green energy, and environmental policy reflects her passion for creating a sustainable future. She is determined to build community power and expand environmental justice in all spaces. Congratulations again, Sunni! Your unwavering commitment to environmental protection, grassroots organizing, and social justice is commendable. International Day of Persons with Disabilities Virtual Event
