Happy Labor Day from the YDA Rural Caucus! Today we celebrate the American workers, from coal miners to steel workers to school teachers and farm workers, who helped build this country and fought for the rights and protections we hold dear.
Rural hospitals are already on a knife's edge. Trump's billionaires-first budget is going to push many of them out of business. apnews.com/article/rura...
We’re proud of the work Kentucky Young Democrats like Nicholas Hazelett, chair of his county party in Appalachia, are doing to show the values of the Democratic party in their community.

We are proud of all her hard work and look forward to working together to support young rural people nationwide.
With Rural Resilience,
P.J. Errera
YDA Rural Caucus Chair
Her passion and dedication to fighting for the people of North Carolina have inspired young people both in North Carolina and across the United States to demand a seat at the table.
Under her leadership, rural North Carolinians were given a voice in the political process that all too often ignored their needs.
The YDA Rural Caucus is proud to endorse our good friend and former officer, Anderson Clayton, for reelection as Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party!
With the ongoing wildfires devastating the LA region, our hearts go out to everyone affected.
We wanted to share some resources provided by the LA County Young Democrats and the Long Beach Young Democrats, who have compiled a list of resources for those in need or for those seeking to help.
NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs at the "Together We Rise Rally" on January 5, 2025 in Raleigh, NC
After losing TWO recounts, North Carolina Republicans are pulling a desperate last-minute power grab to prevent Justice Allison Riggs from keeping her seat on NC’s Supreme Court by striking over 60,000 ballots.
North Carolinians have spoken, and Republicans aren't listening.
