Everyday, the fascist regime across the river is not slowing down and we are not either, we need to show the rest of the country that we won’t let this administration take away our fundamental rights and speaking of fundamental rights… AYD IS Going to World Pride and before that make sure to join us for a fabulous and glamorous drag brunch on Sunday June 1st and then to watch the Pride Parade on June 7th.

🍎 AYD Community Food Drive
The Arlington Young Democrats are stepping up to fight food insecurity, and we need your help. Now through the end of June, we’re collecting donations for the Little Free Food Pantry (LFFP) at St. John's Church in Arlington. This 24/7 pantry offers free food and essential items to our neighbors in need—and with demand rising, the shelves need restocking.
📦 What to Donate:
Non-perishable, unexpired food (no glass jars)
Canned goods, boxed meals, shelf-stable milk
Snacks, plastic utensils, and basic toiletries
🗓 How to Donate:
Bring items to any AYD event this quarter
Drop off anytime in the donation bin on the 5th Street porch of St. John's Church
Let’s come together to keep the pantry full and the community strong. 💙

AYD for Lily Franklin Fundraiser
Join AYD for a fundraiser supporting Lily Franklin for HD-41.
As the most competitive battleground race in Virginia, this seat is a must-win for Democrats to expand their control in the Virginia House of Delegates and will have major implications for access to abortion throughout the Commonwealth.
If she wins, Lily will be the first Democratic woman to represent Southwest VA in her lifetime!
Ticket Levels:
Host: $500 | Hero: $250 | Supporter: $100
General: $50* | YD/Labor: $25*
*Limited Quantities
