Good evening John,
First, a huge congratulations to the many East Bay Young Democrats members who phone banked, canvassed, texted, and otherwise got the word out about Proposition 50. This is your win.
We also want to thank everyone who joined us for our annual EBYD gala on October 18th. It was inspiring to celebrate elected leaders and fellow youth who are having a transformative impact on our East Bay community.
Pictured, some of the many Young Dems who joined us for the event!
EBYD is also extremely grateful to our generous supporters, who have demonstrated their commitment to a new generation of emerging leaders. You can find out more about these supporters in our event program, available here.
Next up: Fundraiser for Transgender Awareness Week on Thursday!
This Thursday, November 6th, we'll be rolling out to attend the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club's "Fundraiser for Transgender Awareness Week: Where public servants are your private servers." This is a great event where all tips go to support worthy charities serving the transgender community. Still on the fence about going? EBYD has 25 free drink tickets at the event for Young Dems.
The event is 5-8 PM at Fluid510 in Oakland, and you can find out more here: https://eastbaystonewalldemocrats.org/event-6396020. Don't forget to tip generously for a good cause!
Platform & Bylaw Update in November!
Stay tuned for our next virtual membership event, later this month- we'll be adopting a new policy platform and updating our bylaws. A draft of our new platform is available here, and a summary of potential bylaw updates is available here. Please feel free to add comments directly to either document, or discuss in our recently updated Discord!
Fired up for more wins in 2026?
It's not too early to think about joining the EBYD Board in 2026! As we look ahead to a pivotal election year, now is a great time to think about new opportunities to deepen your impact, find community, and make a difference. If you are interested in learning more about joining the EBYD Board, please email [email protected] to find out more! Our board elections will be held in early December.
In solidarity,
Caleb Smith
