Join AYD for our Earth Day Trivia Night! Our Housing, Environment, & Infrastructure Caucus Chair Nicole Merlene will be hosting this virtual event full of facts about the environment from the local to the worldwide level! No need to form teams beforehand, we will assign folks upon arrival so everyone feels welcome.
There will be four rounds of trivia with seven questions in each round. After every round, you will be put in a breakout room with your assigned team to deliberate and submit questions before coming back to the main room. Prizes to be announced! Feel free to hang around and chat after trivia to get to know your fellow Young Dems as well.

In honor of Women’s History Month, AYD is gathering donations for BRAWS: Bringing Resources to Aid Women's Shelters, an organization that provides menstrual supplies to women and girls in our community. A donation of $250 buys 25 boxes of pads or tampons for a PTA sponsored school pantry, allowing students to access menstrual products discreetly.
Help us get to our $250 goal by April 9th!
