Young Democrats of Atlanta:

"In such a challenging world, such a fantastic and dangerous world, we will not find answers in old dogmas, by repeating outworn slogans, or fighting on ancient battlegrounds, against fading enemies, long after the real struggle has moved on. We ourselves much change, in order to master change. We must rethink our old ideas and beliefs, before they capture, and before they destroy us. For those answers, America must look to its young people, the children of this time of change." -Robert F. Kennedy, 1966

Young Democrats of Atlanta is the official Fulton County chapter of Young Democrats of Georgia, and as such includes membership from all of Fulton County, not just those inside the Atlanta city limits.

Community Service with the Young Democrats of Atlanta:

The Young Democrats of Atlanta believe that if we are going to talk about our values, and encourage our elected officials to adopt policies that support our values, we also have to get out into the community and BE about our values.

The Service Committee is another part of the action-oriented outreach of Young Democrats of Atlanta. Contact our Service Committee Chair, Falatta Burdette, on how you can join our efforts.

BIODIESEL IN ATLANTA:

Here are some biodiesel stations in Atlanta, GA. Biodiesel is less polluting and has a smaller carbon footprint than regular diesel, and is produced right here in the USA. Biodiesel can be used in almost any diesel engine. Up to B20 (a 20 percent blend) any diesel engine, whether car or 18 wheeler or whatever, can use it.
