Fellow Young Democrat,

Tonight we are prepping for the 2021 Indiana Young Democrats Virtual Convention. At the convention, we will gather as members of IYD and renew our pledge to increase engagement amongst young voters and elect more young Democrats to office. We will have training sessions to prepare us to lead in our own communities across the state and hear from game-changers making a difference in our political atmosphere. We will also elect our officers for the 2021-23 term. In order to register, you must be a dues-paying member of IYD, so c ([link removed]) lick here ([link removed]) if you haven't paid your annual dues yet! If you haven't had the chance, be sure to also join one of our constituency caucuses ([link removed]) before the convention!

As we look ahead towards what happens next, we hope you'll join us for our Monthly Meeting TONIGHT at 6 pm ([link removed]) . Click below to receive the Zoom link for this meeting and all of our meetings through this June!
