Tri-Cities Young Democrats

We at Tri-Cities Young Democrats endorse Bernie Sanders for Democratic nominee!

Senator Sanders, quite frankly, is the only candidate who actually prioritizes the values of young people, namely protecting our environment, ensuring that healthcare and education do not crush young people with lifelong, insurmountable debt, and that we all are able to have a say in our economy and future-not just the billionaires.

We strongly urge our followers and members to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Tennessee Democratic Primary tomorrow, 3/3/20.

Attention all Young Democrats: There is an anti-choice campaign on ETSU's campus in Johnson City right now. These anti-choice demonstrators are the ones with large billboards depicting genocide, bombing victims, and other horrifying images. If you can, please mobilize to campus today to show that their message of falsehoods and hate are not welcome on our campus or in our community. I know the students of ETSU will be grateful.

If you are interested in ways to fight privatizing public jobs, please read this. This is from an email newsletter from Democrat Tenn. Rep. John Ray Clemmons:
Protecting Our State Parks
As we all feared, Governor Haslam renewed his push to privatize our state parks by successfully amending his Fall Creek Falls RFP on Thursday during the latest meeting of the State Building Commission. If you care about our state parks like me and several of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, please make your opinions known. Share your opinions about privatizing our state parks with Governor Haslam at (615) 741-2001 and Commissioner Martineau and Deputy Commissioner Brock Hill at (888) 891-8332.
Also, the contract to accomplish Haslam’s outsourcing of all facilities management services at our state colleges and universities is set to be released on Tuesday. Share your opinions about outsourcing jobs at our state colleges and universities with Governor Haslam and Terry Cowles at (615) 741-2001 and Commissioner Bob Oglesby at (615) 741-9263.

While we serve the entire Tri-Cities region, those of us at Tri-Cities Young Democrats would like to congratulate the Washington County Democratic Party in Northeast Tennessee for their selection of an all-female set of officers at their reorganizational meeting this weekend.

It is extremely exciting to be able to say that 3/4 of those officers are Young Democrats, and the one who is not a Young Democrat is a huge supporter of our cause. Kate, Sydney, and Lauren, you make us all proud. Our organization looks forward to working alongside such an amazing group, as well as the other regional county parties, in turning the Tri-Cities blue!
