All over the state, Young Democrats will spend the weekend making a difference. Gaston Young Democrats will help distribute school supplies, Mecklenburg Young Democrats will donate blood, Guilford Young Democrats will collect cans to combat a shortage at the local food bank, and Young Democrats from Asheville to Wilmington will register voters.

YDNC Officers will travel from Murphy to Manteo on August 4th to celebrate Young Democrat Day. Young Democrat Day will celebrate Young Democrats across our State. Young Democrats have always fought to give young North Carolinians a seat at the table while elevating the tenor of our political discourse, and we've often been the first organization to give a voice to the ideas of the future.

BlueNCers are welcome to join in by attending one of many events (example below) or by tweeting on the #YDDay hashtag.
