------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Fellow Young Democrat,
I hope you and your loved ones remain safe through this pandemic. In this moment, we are clearly seeing the importance of electing thoughtful, compassionate leaders. Consider finding a local candidate that you believe would make an excellent leader through this crisis and make calls for their campaign, or give to a local charity providing resources during this crisis. Our state party has put together
a list of resources ([link removed])) and ways to give in every corner of our state.
Also, a reminder that the only voting that happens on June 2nd is in-person voting. Tomorrow is the final day to request an absentee ballot. All mail-in ballots have to arrive by noon on June 2nd in order to be counted. Plan ahead and send in your ballot as soon as you get it in the mail as COVID-19 is slowing down our Postal Service.
We have also entered into a new phase as an organization! We have updated our branding and are sporting a new look.

Make sure to share the video on your social media pages so we can reach as many Hoosiers as possible.
Young Gets It Done,
Arielle Brandy,
President

** New Brand, Same Message
------------------------------------------------------------
We have rebranded! Our organization is growing and changing and our brand must evolve with us. We're proud to unveil our new branding that speaks to the value we place on diversity as a party. We all have different stories to tell and we write our narrative in our own way, but together we form a coalition that believes in accessible healthcare, in reproductive freedoms, and that we must collectively respond to climate change.
You might have seen the new branding on Facebook ([link removed]) , Twitter ([link removed]) , or Instagram ([link removed]) over the past week! If you haven't yet, be sure to go share the video of our brand unveiling on your social media pages.
