CDM & YDM

The Young Democrats of Massachusetts' vision is to renew the voice of youth in Massachusetts progressive politics. It is an independently run and financed group within the Massachusetts Democratic Party with more than 2,000 members and a strong track record in affecting state elections and policy battles. YDM works to involve young people between the ages of 18 to 35 in progressive politics as informed voters, activists, organizers, and candidates and help progressive Democrats win elections. Among their many successful campaign efforts was the election of Mike Ross to the Boston City Council. Their mobilization of students brought Ross to victory against a heavily endorsed, well-financed competitor in a tight election.

YDM sponsors many fundraising and campaign events on a monthly basis in an effort to promote progressive ideals and allow young individuals the opportunity to take an active role in politics. As the sister organization of CDM, it has worked in conjunction with College Democrats chapters across the state to recruit new members to the two organizations.

ELECTION NIGHT AFTER-PARTY
March 7, 9 PM

Join the Young Democrats on that fateful Tuesday night in March for a primary celebration. Supporters of both Democratic candidates, Bradley and Gore, are welcome to come and cheer on their candidate. It's sort of like ringing in the New Year, except without the champagne. Remember folks, we are all in this mess together…we may as well ring in the California and New York results with our friends!
