Idaho Young Democrats

Your monthly reminder to touch grass, build community, and hang out with your local young Democrats! 💙
Young Dems on Draft is THIS THURSDAY! Join us for kombucha, conversation, and community at Boise Booch. New faces, returning faces, politically involved folks, politically curious folks, folks who just wanna hang: all welcome.

No pressure, just vibes. See you there! 👀
📍 Boise Booch
🕕 Thursday 6/4 @ 6PM!

Being LGBTQ+ in Idaho requires a kind of courage that many people never have to think about. This Pride Month, we celebrate the q***r Idahoans building community, leading boldly, supporting one another, and continuing to show up with strength and love in the face of adversity.

Pride is about joy. It is about history and belonging. And it is about the ongoing work of building a state where every person can live safely, openly, and fully as themselves. Every Idahoan deserves this freedom. To our q***r community: we see you, we be you, we love you! 🫶🏼

Happy Pride from IDYD. 🏳️‍🌈💙

Election Day is tomorrow! 🇺🇸
