Organize Elk Grove Presents Winning Back Young Voters

In the 2024 election, young voters, particularly young men, swung sharply to the right. At the next Organize Elk Grove meeting on May 12 at 6, join our conversation with two young Democratic Party leaders to learn more about efforts to win back young voters and build a sustained cross-generational coalition for the future.

At 6:00, meet up for coffee, wine, pizza, or pastries from our local cafe and connection with fellow progressives.
At 6:30, learn from our presenters about how we can rebuild trust with young voters and inspire the next generation to lead a party that stands for all Americans.

Feel free to bring craft supplies to share or to meet your own fidget needs--all are welcome here! And please donate to support our nonprofit, ASATTCI.
