** We Came, We Saw, We Changed the World.
------------------------------------------------------------

Over 30 Young Democrats of Georgia traveled to Indianapolis this month for the biennial Young Democrats of America Convention. Attendees heard from keynote speakers including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Andre Carson, Presidential Candidates Pete Buttigieg, Wayne Messam, Marianne Williamson, and surrogates for Mike Gravel, Andrew Yang, Cory Booker, Bill De Blasio, and more. After a week of valuable trainings on everything from Hustle 101 (y'know, that program to text voters) and whether Political Research is Right for Us to Protecting the Right to vote (co-hosted by the always fabulous Porsha White), we elected new leadership for the next two years. Last but not least, Georgian Louis Elrod finished his success term as Young Democrats of America President. We wish him continued success in wherever he decides to take his leadership next.

We're still taking donations to help subsidize the financial aid received by over 80% of our incredible and deserving delegates. Please consider making a contribution below.

We're planning something BIG. So much of our talent and beauty is based in what makes us unique. We want to celebrate and foster that so we're going to be hosting a caucus workshop summit for all of our Young Democrats of Georgia caucus members to come work on strengthening their caucuses. Our VP of Programs, Maria Andrade wants to make sure we are giving the people what they want so if you are interested in being involved in a caucus (or two or three), PLEASE FILL THIS FORM OUT FOR HER. Your input is crucial to the success of this event.
