Attend the YDA Convention with KCYD!
The Young Democrats of America are holding their spring convention in Boise, Idaho! This is a great opportunity for us in Washington State, because we’re so close geographically. The King County Young Democrats are organizing a group to attend the YDA Convention together. We are committed to providing funding for those who might find the cost prohibitive.
Upcoming Events
Although we typically hold monthly meetups in-person, we’ve switched to holding our monthly meetings online because of the pandemic. Please pay attention to if you need to register for the Zoom link!
Our meetings consist of anything from panels of experts and elected officials to group discussions where we talk about serious topics affecting our lives.
