Want to help young people in your local area of Madera County open a California Young Democrats Chapter? Here is how your local Chartered Democratic Club Members can do it…
If your local Chartered Democratic Club membership in Madera County wants to strengthen your young voters’ sense of connection between themselves. Your Chartered Democratic Club can adopt a bylaws line that says “whenever this club has at least 10 members from ages 14-35, they shall be considered the [club’s name] Young Democrats and the club shall pay the chartering fees for their Young Democrats with the California Young Democrats. This group from ages 14-35 shall receive dual membership for the single club membership fee.”
The California Young Democrats is the official youth arm of the California Democratic Party, comprised of progressive people ages 14-35. The California Young Democrats are committed to creating a bloc of young voters who will elect Democrats for an entire generation. Using proven Peer to Peer campaign methods, Young Democrats have made significant differences in races all over California. Young Democrats in California work everyday to promote social justice, women’s rights, peace and stability in the world, and many other progressive values. How to Start a CYD Chapter.
