Southampton Town Young Democratic Association (SYDA)

We are an initiative aimed to bring young like-minded voters together, to consider the following question: “How are we all part of the same mission”? SYDA encourages young Democrats to unlock a new lens of perception: how local politics influence federal politics, vice versa, and how we all are working together in the fight towards restoring democracy and good government.

The youth members of the committee are:

• Concerned by the potential impacts of an inefficient federal government system on Southampton town and local government

• Deeply disturbed by the recent spike in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (and partner agencies) operations on Long Island

• Emphasizing that activism is integral to investing in local government, and is one of the most influential ways to fuel real change
