We’re excited to officially welcome the Salem County Young Democrats as the newest chapter of NJYD! 🎉

Congratulations to President Michael Tinsley, Vice President Anthony Finkel, and Treasurer Aaron Sorrell. With the addition of the SCYD chapter, we're expanding our geographic footprint, reaching our most rural areas, and strengthening the voice of young Democrats across New Jersey.

A special thanks to President Fatima Heyward for spearheading this effort in chartering our newest chapter and leading tonight's elections.

Additional thanks to the NJYD Executive Board and Leadership Team, and Salem County members who joined to show their support and vote in the SCYD board.

Please join us in celebration of this momentous occasion! We look forward to seeing what comes out of the Salem County Young Democrats. 💙

On June 11th, the New Jersey Young Democrats took action at the State House! We were thrilled to join Garden State Equality and other advocacy organizations at the Reproductive + Transgender Healthcare Provider Shield Rally.

Now, more than ever, we must advocate for reproductive healthcare for all, including gender affirming care. Though it is Pride Month, these issues matter yearround. Take this as a reminder to advocate, show up, and stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
