Building the Young Democrats
Tue, Aug 2 11:50 AM CST
Amid a robust discussion about the future of youth-oriented progressive politics, the Young Democrats of America convention is about to gavel down in San Francisco. It’s a good time to think about what can be done here in Nebraska to energize the Nebraska Young Democrats as they work to build the youth wing of our party. They’re already active on campuses and in communities across the state – and on at least one campus, they’re doing great online work too.
We’re not the only ones thinking about this: a couple of days ago over at MyDD, there was a great post about organizing young people. Check it out, and share your thoughts.
County Democratic Party Websites

It’s especially relevant to the work we’re trying to do here in Nebraska with nebraskademocrats.org.
