On December 14th, hundreds of people will gather to lay wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. AYD will be participating in this effort.

If you’ve never attended, it is a beautiful event to honor those who served our country.

We will meet at 7:15 AM at Rosslyn Metro Station and metro to Arlington National Cemetery. Afterwards, we will have our annual holiday brunch in south Arlington.

While wreath laying is free and all are encouraged to join us, tickets are required for the holiday brunch. Buy your tickets at the link below!

The Arlington Young Democrats, in partnership with Equality Virginia, call on members and allies to volunteer for this important Equality Means Business campaign, which seeks to find local businesses willing to pledge that they will not discriminate against their employees or customers who are members of the LGBTQ community!

Our Arlington community is one of the bluest in the Commonwealth, and it’s time we start living our values through our businesses. But we need help getting the word out!

Volunteer to help AYD contact local businesses in Arlington (in person or by phone) to tell them about this important campaign and help them join! We will provide all volunteers with a sample script to get you started. Sign-up here!
