         The Virginia Young Democrats, in partnership with the Young Democrats of America, are excited to announce a series of meet-ups around the state in support of our Democratic candidates and causes. In just one week, young people across the Commonwealth will come together at barbeques, beach parties, happy hours, and other fun events on the weekend of July 25th-27th, to enjoy the summer sun and discuss the important issues affecting our generation.

Nearly 180,000 young voters participated in Virginia's Democratic Presidential Primary. That's record-breaking turnout, and just a small part of the young voter revolution taking place across the country. Young people have made themselves heard at the polls, and now they have a chance to do so with their friends, families, and neighbors. The Summer of Change is about having fun, and getting involved to elect Democrats this November. This is our generation's chance to change politics as usual in Washington, and the first step is as easy as hanging out with your friends.


Interested in attending a Summer of Change event? Find an event in your community below, or if you don't see one listed, host one yourself! It could be something as small as a night at the movies with a handful of your friends, or a large gathering in your local community. Talk to your guests about the issues, and bring new members into our organization with "Vote Democrat" pledge cards.

We'll provide the tools to help you plan and host a successful event; all you need is a place to host, friends and family to invite, and a commitment to supporting our great slate of Democratic candidates. With just a few phone calls and emails, you'll be enjoying the Summer of Change, having a good time hanging out with your friends, and making a difference to help Democrats win in November.
