At most democratic fundraisers, events, and, let’s face it, elections, young people are worryingly scarce. But no longer- The Young Democrats of Cornwall are here, and we plan to take President Obama’s advice to “show up, dive in, and stay at it.”
We will be meeting regularly to discuss ways that young people in Cornwall can learn about our systems of government, engage with our representatives, organize around issues that matter to us, and support candidates who will carry our interests forward.
Our group will focus on empowerment through engagement. We will create an environment where people can come to learn, and to find out what can be done- whether that be writing letters to representatives, creating a petition, organizing an event, or volunteering.
Get ready folks. The Youth are coming.
