About LYD
Our Story
Louisville Young Democrats started after community members saw a need to encourage young voters to become more involved in politics.
We believe young voters are the next generation of leaders and many of the issues being discussed today, like the climate crisis and universal healthcare, directly affect us most over the course of our lifetimes.
By becoming active in politics, we can ensure we have a future we can look forward to. This includes good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare and so much more.
Who We Serve
We’re advocates and promoters of the Democratic Party’s message and values to young voters in Jefferson County.
As a completely volunteer-led organization, Louisville Young Democrats mobilizes young people under the age of 40 to participate in the electoral process to elect Democrats.
As the next generation of leaders, we shape the future of the Democratic Party, advocate for progressive issues and train the next generation of progressive leaders.
Our Impact
Louisville Young Democrats has had an outsized effect on our city and state over the years. Instead of just creating a bold vision for progressive change then waiting our turn, LYD members are actively involved in the political process in a wide variety of ways.
Our members are working on campaigns, lobbying, working inside the government and sitting on Democratic boards. Some LYD members have even went on to hold public office.
