The
Tazewell County Democratic Committee has committed to sponsoring the
start up of Young Democrat committees in our area. And now, we are
looking for the right groups of young leaders and politically
involved youth that can organize and collaborate with our local
committee to make this vision a reality in our community.
A
Young Democrats charter requires at least 5 interested potential
members between the ages of 13 and 35 who
can
be a student or a resident of any surrounding counties or towns. The
YD chapter would be chartered under the Virginia Young Democrats
(VAYD), which is the official youth auxiliary of the Democratic
Party of Virginia. Membership in the VAYD, through a chartered club,
gives members an official voice in Virginia Democratic politics. A
YD chapter can be a high school charter, a college charter, or a
county or city charter.
We
would love to see more of all 3 types of YD committees in our area!
After this initial Facebook post, we were asked about young people in
High School. The answer is YES! We see no reason for every High
School not to have a Young Democrats Club. Auburn High School in
Montgomery County has one! The
Tazewell County Democratic Committee is working to advance the issues
that matter to the people of this region. However, we want to
champion what matters to YOU
as young Democrats, and we need your help to do it. You know and
understand what your generation is facing- healthcare, fair taxes,
education funding, higher education costs and student loans,
affordable housing, home ownership challenges, and equal justice
under the law are just a few
subjects where we can start to make a difference
through collaborations and mutual cooperation.
Email,
call
or text our office at (276) 210-6531, and let's discuss how a Young
Democrat committee would better our communities!
