Happy Labor Day from the YDA Rural Caucus! Today we celebrate the American workers, from coal miners to steel workers to school teachers and farm workers, who helped build this country and fought for the rights and protections we hold dear.

Rural hospitals are already on a knife's edge. Trump's billionaires-first budget is going to push many of them out of business. apnews.com/article/rura...
FACT FOCUS: Rural hospitals are expected to lose money from Trump's bill, despite RFK Jr.'s promise
There's more to that nearly 900-page bill than Kennedy let on at the White House.

We’re proud of the work Kentucky Young Democrats like Nicholas Hazelett, chair of his county party in Appalachia, are doing to show the values of the Democratic party in their community.

Kentucky Democrats fight to regain inroads with rural voters. Will it work?
The party hopes to push itself from its urban comfort zone and listen to rural communities around the commonwealth at a defining political moment.

With the ongoing wildfires devastating the LA region, our hearts go out to everyone affected.

We wanted to share some resources provided by the LA County Young Democrats and the Long Beach Young Democrats, who have compiled a list of resources for those in need or for those seeking to help.

After losing TWO recounts, North Carolina Republicans are pulling a desperate last-minute power grab to prevent Justice Allison Riggs from keeping her seat on NC’s Supreme Court by striking over 60,000 ballots.

North Carolinians have spoken, and Republicans aren't listening.
