Who We Are
Young people need a voice when it comes to affordable housing, mobility and transit, economic development, education, and labor issues. We are that voice. This new Democratic club is mobilizing young Angelenos to develop relationships with elected officials and promote progressive policies. Our members are forging a path to ensure that the future of Los Angeles is equitable, affordable, and sustainable.
Our Mission
We are working to engage young people in local politics, make L.A. affordable and equitable, and build a sustainable future.
Our History
In 2019, our club was founded with Founding President Joshua Baum, Vice President Chelsea Byers, Political Director Alec White, Communications Director Rachel Bracker and Treasurer Brad Fingard. Since then, we have helped mentor young Democrats across the Westside with over 350 current and former members as of June, 2025 and endorse in races where Westside residents will be voting. In 2024, 85% of our endorsed candidates won in November and in the March primary, 100% of our endorsed candidates won or placed first.
Board members have gone on to serve as Mayor of West Hollywood and President of the Culver City School Board.
