Chartered April 2026 · A California Young Democrats chapter
Building a blue South OC
We're the young Democrats of South Orange County. We meet the second Wednesday of every month, we endorse the candidates we believe in, and then we go knock on doors for them.
Anyone can come to a meeting — you don't have to be a member to show up.
The club
What we do
We endorse
Candidates come to us, take questions from members, and leave the room. Then members vote. Our November slate has 38 candidates.
We organize
Canvasses, phone banks, and voter registration for the candidates we endorsed — plus whatever the campaigns need most.
We connect
Socials, and a standing invitation to the other clubs in our orbit — Canyon Dems, OCYD, the Democratic Women of South OC.
One calendar for all of it
Open the calendar
Everything worth showing up to
