Dear SVYD Community,

The Spring 2025 SVYD Newsletter is live! And it captures just how deeply our community is committed to action, justice, and collective power. Over the past few months, Silicon Valley Young Democrats have stood arm in arm on picket lines, in council chambers, and in the streets — organizing, leading, and refusing to back down.

Inside this edition, you’ll find:

• A Letter from the President’s Desk
  The fight is real — and so is the power we hold when we show up together. A reflection on the months behind us and the movement ahead.

• Meeting Moments That Mattered
  A look back at our April, May, and June general membership meetings, including tough conversations on housing, legislation, and local action.

• CADEM 2025: Convention Recap
  From statewide panels to hotel hallway strategy sessions — see how SVYD showed up in Anaheim to push the party toward a more just, inclusive future.

• The Fight for Housing Justice
  Why stand firm against harmful proposals, push back on criminalization, and need to stay focused on long-term solutions.

• Pride is Protest. Showing Up is the Assignment
  Pride isn't just a party. Pride is resistance, joy, and refusing to disappear — here's why we should show up

• Where We Go From Here
  We’re not waiting our turn, we’re stepping up now. And we’re doing it together. A message of unity, urgency, and what’s next for this community.

As always, thank you for being a vital part of SVYD. Your courage, your voice, and your presence are what keep this movement alive and growing. Let’s keep showing up — not just for the future we want, but for the one we are building together.
 

In solidarity,
Silicon Valley Young Democrats
