About me:

We are the Young Democrats of Atlanta, and while we are technically the official chapter for Fulton County, we welcome membership from and collaboration with any greater Atlanta area Young Democrats. Our mission is to promote political awareness and activism among progressive young adults (18-40) and ultimately to get more young Democrats elected to local, state, and national office! We also manage to have a lot of fun on the side.

Our business/action meetings are the first Wednesday of every month at Manuel's Tavern, on N. Highland Ave just below North Ave; New Member Orientation @ 6:30, business meeting at 7:00. Happy Hours are held the third Thursday of every month at varying locations.

For more info hit up atlantayoungdems.org. Be sure to register to receive our emails. We send out a weekly newsletter, Left of Center, that will keep you up to date on all that is YDAtl.

Check out our Flickr photos.

Who I'd like to meet:

Progressive young adults in the greater Atlanta area.

    In response to the latest right wing distraction (concerning an inocuous statement by Barack Obama), singer-songwriter Retail has posted his song "Lipstick on a Pig" on his myspace page:

    I have posted a few new blogs on my page. Some of the topics include 9-11 conspiracy theories, illegal immigration and Islamic extremism. Everyone is more than welcome to join in on the discussions and voice their opinions.
    I’m sure the fireworks will be flying!

    Thanks for the Add!

    Best,

    ". . .We can not put our peoples' aspirations on hold for anybody's career, black or white. Our people are suffering. We still have Today.

    We keep talking about civil rights like that was something in the past, back in the day. We're still in the day.

    Today, we're still getting shot down by police.

    Today, we still have health care problems.

    Today, we still have educational disparities.

    So don't act like we can sit back on some lofty levels of comfort, look into the glorious past, like all of that is over with. Right now we have challenges, and those we that we should support should accept the need to challenge or they should need to let us go on, as they develop.
