Good morning Young Democrats,


It’s a brat summer! Vice President Kamala Harris has only been a presidential candidate for five days, and she’s already strongly embraced by young voters. Polling indicates that she has an edge with 18-34 year-olds (see below), and Harris is becoming a social media sensation. With singer Charlie XCX proclaiming that “Kamala IS brat,” young organizers and even Kamala’s campaign itself are using this branding to appeal to young voters. And it’s working!

Please join us in Orange County this weekend! This Saturday, in conjunction with the California College Democrats, Orange County Young Democrats, Grassroots Democrats HQ, Democratic Party of Orange County, and Costa Mesa Democratic Club, we’ll be canvassing for Dave Min for Congress and Josh Newman for State Senate. California Young Democrats will provide lodging for Young Democrats in need of accommodations. RSVP here!

Please join us in Sacramento on August 13! Protecting our state legislative majorities will ensure that California continues to lead the way in progressive victories. On August 13, we will be hosting a fundraiser in Sacramento honoring Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria, Senator Josh Newman, and Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo. Come join us to help honor them and meet other Young Democrats.

We have a lot of work ahead of us for this upcoming general election. Let’s continue to organize, activate, and engage Young Democrats so that we defeat MAGA extremism decisively! We only have 103 days! Onward!

Democratically yours,


Giovanni Chavez

CYD President
