YDAC Statement on the Withdrawal of President Biden from the 2024 Presidential Race

Juneteenth is a day to remember the original sin of slavery, honor the tireless work of abolitionists and commemorate America’s dedication to the cause of freedom.

It was Joe Biden who signed the legislation establishing Juneteenth as the nation’s newest federal holiday in 2021.

Thank you all for coming to our June social event! Special thanks to for being great hosts! We look forward to seeing you all again in less than two weeks (Monday, June 24) as we elect our brand new executive board!

Congratulations to the YDAC Recommended Slate for becoming our Democratic nominees for November! At the near-top of the ticket was Congresswoman Summer Lee who won her primary in a landslide with a pro-peace, pro-worker message that has resonated with thousands across the county and the country as a whole.

YDAC remains committed to supporting candidates and causes that create a better world for young people and generations to come.

Thank you to Ashley Comans, former YDAC executive committee member and Young Democrat of the Year, for a hard-fought, principled race. We look forward to see what the future brings for you! Congratulations to Rep. Salisbury on securing a full term and we look forward to working together on advancing our shared mission.

[EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS.] Yesterday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 abortion ban is now valid following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by SCOTUS in 2022.

Almost immediately, Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes vowed to not enforce the ruling, something she can do, afforded by law, as the top law enforcement officer in the state.

Mayes won her election by 280 votes.

Here in Pennsylvania, five Democratic candidates are vying for the Attorney General spot.

In March, YDAC co-hosted a candidate forum with 3 of the 5, see here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/ZdsBAESB7e418wtg/?mibextid=WC7FNe

You can also read about all 5 here: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/03/pennsylvania-election-2024-attorney-general-primary-candidates/

Do your part. Vote on April 23, vote again on November 5.

Prepping for St. Patrick's Day? Make sure you buy union-made!🍀

EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, announced that Pennsylvania state Rep. La'Tasha D. Mayes is a nominee for the 2024 Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award!

Named in honor of the dedicated and courageous Gabrielle Giffords, the Rising Star Award celebrates an extraordinary woman serving in state or local office. The award honors a woman who demonstrates the sort of commitment to community, dedication to women and families, and determination and civility that have been the highlights of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ career, in and out of office.

EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“[Rep.] Mayes has broken down barriers and shattered glass ceilings for Pennsylvanians, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. She has been a staunch advocate for her community her entire career, founding a reproductive justice organization and working to support Black women, gender and sexual minorities, and disadvantaged businesses."

The Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award winner will be chosen with community input. Online voting opened on Friday, March 15 and can be found here:
