Here’s what the Young Democrats of Arkansas have accomplished so far this summer: ✅ Showed up at 20+ Pride, Juneteenth, No Kings, and community events in Little Rock, Hope, Jonesboro, Fayetteville, Van Buren, Hot Springs, and beyond ✅ Turned in over 120 voter registration forms 🧵

A message from YDAR President Billy Cook on the announcement that Democratic Party of Arkansas Chair Grant Tennille will step down after four years of dedicated service.

“To form a more perfect Union...” What is more patriotic than believing your country can be better than it was—than it is?

LRSD personnel learned that the district did not receive the federal grants that were supposed to be disbursed today. They are putting a hold on training and professional development, and reviewing the contracts of those funded by these federal grants. This is part of a national crisis. 🧵

The Young Democrats of Arkansas condemn the President’s decision to bomb Iran. This act of aggression marks an escalation that puts countless lives at risk both abroad and at home, including Arkansans in military service.

We’re thrilled to announce our delegation to the 2025 @youngdems.bsky.social National Convention in July! #YDAPhilly We’re asking for YOUR support to make this opportunity possible for our delegates: ydarkansas.com/YDARTakesPhilly

On June 19, 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation declared that all enslaved people “are, and henceforward shall be free”—Union troops arrived in Galveston with the news of freedom for enslaved Black people. That day came to be known as Juneteenth. 🧵

Wow. What a weekend. From Pride to protest to the polls, from the Delta to the Ozarks and everywhere in between—Young Dems of AR show up. We choose action over apathy. 🧵

This month, YDAR is showing up across Arkansas—will we see YOU there? 🏳️‍🌈 📍 From Hot Springs to Fayetteville, Little Rock to Fort Smith, we’re celebrating in community and honoring Pride’s roots in protest and resilience. Did we miss any? Let us know! ⬇️

🌟 Organize. Mobilize. Activate. That’s how we grow—and win. 🌟 Yesterday UCA YDs and Conway High School YDs teamed up with the Faulkner County Democrats—because strong local party chapters build strong communities. 🧵

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Pride Month from the Young Democrats of Arkansas! In Arkansas, Pride represents more than celebration—it's an act of courage, community, and radical joy. It is deeply personal and undeniably political. 🧵

🚨 THIS SATURDAY 🚨 Join YDAR for our After Dark party on May 31st following the Fisher Shackleford Dinner! We're kicking off an incredible summer of action and community-building. 🧵/1

This Memorial Day, we remember those who laid down their lives for a dream of liberty and justice bigger than any of us. Let’s remember them not just in words, but in action: by standing up, by speaking out, by building a country worthy of their sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸
