Good afternoon,

We have two weeks until YDNC Convention and lots of info to share. But
first, we are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker: NC's very own
REYNA WALTERS-MORGAN!

[2]

Reyna is the newly elected VICE CHAIR FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND VOTER
PARTICIPATION at the DNC, a North Carolina resident, UNC-Chapel Hill
alumna, and longtime friend of YDNC. 

At UNC, she was the first woman of color and second woman ever elected
as Student Body President. While a student, she led the efforts that
led to the first satellite polling place within walking distance of
campus.

Reyna has dedicated her career to protecting voting rights, from
working on Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign to leading the national
voter protection program at the DNC in 2019. This February, Reyna was
elected as the DNC Vice Chair for Civic Engagement and Voter
Participation. It's an honor to have her speak at our convention.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO WEEKS UNTIL CONVENTION -- if you haven't registered
already, you can do it at YDNC.ORG/CONVENTION [2].
