Our progressive values in action. A record number of young voters turned out nationwide last election, but young people in Florida fell short. It's clear, now more than ever, that Democrats in our state need to invest in rebuilding trust with young voters - and that work starts with us. ACYD is rebuilding the infrastructure we need to engage young people in our county and ultimately elect more Democrats in the years to come.
