Last night, June 3rd, Mr. Jackson, our Club's President and a Candidate for Indpls. City-County Council, spoke at the meeting of the Southside Democrats Club, about the impact that young Democrats will have in keeping Indiana blue in future elections. He also spoke about the soon-to-be-created Indianapolis Coalition of College Democrats, his brainchild and something that more information will be posted on here about in the near future. The Southside Democrats Club held a vote to waive the membership fees for College Democrats, and the vote passed unanimously to allow the fee to be waived. This is very important news, because this makes 2 very important city Democrat clubs that have hopped on the banwagon and have recognized that young members are vital for their organizations, and Indianapolis' future. We should be very appreciative of what these clubs are doing, because they are going out on a limb to let us know that they are welcoming us with open arms to their groups.

Next Monday, June 8th, Mr. Jackson will be attending his home township club, the Decatur Twp. Democrats Club, and making a brief speech on UIndy College Democrats, ICCD, the youth vote, and his candidacy for Indpls. City-Council. The Decatur Twp. Club is working very hard with Mr. Jackson, and it would be nice to have some of our UIndy members attend this meeting to show support for Mr. Jackson's campaign to increase youth influence and engagement in the Indianapolis Democratic community, and there is the potential for some very important announcements to be made at this meeting regarding these things. For more information about this meeting, check out the Decatur Twp. Democrats Club page at: http://www.decaturdemocrats.blogspot.com/, or email Christopher Jackson at: chljackson@uindy.edu.

Btw: How does everyone like the new logo that I created for the club? Leave comments below and let me know!
