AYD General Body Meeting

We will be holding a general body meeting on October 21st, 2020. With just two weeks left until November 3rd, 2020, we’ll discuss the final push of GOTV efforts before Election Day and the upcoming AYD elections later in November as well. We hope to see you there!

AYD Text Banks for Biden

Florida Democrats have put out a call for text bankers, and AYD has answered. Join us every Monday until Election Day from 5-7 PM as we send texts to voters in this perennial, crucial swing state. As you send texts, join us for a virtual hangout and get to know your fellow Young Democrats who are fighting to make a difference in 2020.

To join AYD, select the Monday, 5-7 PM Times on Mobilize. If it's your first time, Florida Democrats will invite you to a quick training, after which you can start texting and join us in our virtual hangout.

AYD Phone Bank for Pennsylvania

With so much at stake in this election -- and so little time remaining before voting begins -- the best way to make a difference is to call Pennsylvania voters and talk to them about supporting Joe Biden and Democrats. Getting started is easy! AYD will have phone banks on the following Tuesdays from 6:30pm - 8:30pm: October 6th, October 13th, and October 20th. Sign up for a shift (or two) and an organizer will reach out to you with all of the details about how we make calls from home.

AYD North Carolina Phonebank

North Carolina has proven to be one of the closest swing states for multiple levels of government in 2020. Both Joe Biden and Cal Cunningham are within the margin of error, and North Carolina Democrats need us to make calls to voters. Let's spread the word about the Democratic ticket and bring the blue wave to our neighbors down south. Join us as we make calls to voters across the state of North Carolina!

AYD Boo Clues Trivia

Join your fellow Arlington Young Democrats for Boo Clues, a spooky virtual pub quiz which is sure to help you have some fun during this election season! Halloween costumes are not required but certainly encouraged!

Want to get a leg up on future trivia? You're in luck! Your phone bank numbers for AYD and VAYD will go into the bank for your trivia team. Show up to any VAYD or AYD phone bank and we'll make sure your points are counted in the next quiz. What's more, those points translate into direct action. Each quiz will have cash prizes that the top three teams can send to the bank for a charity, non-profit, or campaign of their choice. So show up to the phone banks and get ready to bank some points and make bank on behalf of democracy!
