On May 28th, our organization's President, Christopher Jackson, spoke at the Perry Township Democrats Club on behalf of UIndy College Democrats. He discussed the vital role that young Democrats have in the community and how we can help further the Democratic cause in the city. He also spoke of the creation of the Indianapolis Coalition of College Democrats, something he hopes to have established by the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year.

The most important news that comes from this function is that the Perry Twp. Club voted unanimously to waive their membership fee to any new members that are college students, in an attempt to stimulate the youth movement and encourage young Democrats to join their clubs. It has also been mentioned that Perry Twp. Democrats would like for us to oversee the elections in 4 precincts that surround and include the UIndy campus, but this idea is still in its infancy and might not materialize.

Tomorrow, June 2, Mr. Jackson will be speaking at the Southside Democrats Club about UIndy College Democrats. His hope is that the Southside Democrats Club will also vote to waive their membership fee for college students that wish to join their organization. He hopes to extend this momentum to other area Democrat clubs and to have UIndy Democrats become vital members of these organizations. If you would like to attend the Southside Democrats club meeting to show support for your UIndy Democrats or would like to join the Perry Township Democrats club, email Christopher Jackson for more information at chljackson@uindy.edu.
