Welcome to the website of the Wake County Young Democrats (WCYD)!  This site provides information about activities occurring in our political community and how you can get involved.  I invite you to explore our site and join us.

Who we are?  We are a diverse group of registered Democrats ages 18 to 35 with an interest in strengthening our communities and our democracy through meaningful participation in the political process.

Our mission is to stimulate and provide an outlet for young people who have an interest in governmental affairs and want to be more involved in the political process.  Further, we aim to promote the acquisition of political power by young people and to make members of the Democratic Party aware that we intend to take an active role in party affairs.

Young people are part of the natural constituency of the Democratic Party.  One of our greatest challenges, as Young Democrats, is the disaffection and disillusionment of many young people in the political process.  While there are indeed many troubling shortcomings in the current system (e.g., its plutocratic inclinations, the influence of fundamentalism, the politics of division), we must endure.

The Wake County Young Democrats are moving forward, building on the energy of the '06 election, and affirming with confidence that our values are the core values of America: hard work, social responsibility, liberty, fairness, and equal opportunity.  I hope you will join us in our efforts. 

Please feel free to contact me at president@wakeyd.org with your comments and questions.

Warm Regards,

Terence Morrisson
President, Wake County Young Democrats
