The Yale College Democrats do not stand for this behavior. We must support leadership that serves the American people! and does not tear us apart. Let’s remember this harmful rhetoric when we are choosing our NEXT leaders!!!
Donald Trump’s vile, disgusting post about Barack and Michelle Obama is beyond offensive. This man is and always has been a deranged and hateful racist. He needs to apologize to the Obamas, who–by the way–are much better people than he can ever hope to be.

Yale Dems is proud to support the efforts of Local 217 - UNITE HERE as they defend Hartford’s hotel workers. We’re eager to see @GovNedLamont and Hartford City Council take decisive action.
As @hartfordhilton banquet worker Kim said, "If the Council approves the plan as it currently stands then most of us will lose our jobs forever." We call on @GovNedLamont - don't give developers taxpayer money to fire us! https://t.co/sa88aG2qG1

We want to thank @YaleDems for launching a letter-writing campaign in support of Steven. Steven also received a letter from Canadian student Sophie Lewycky: "Thank you again for your tireless efforts and for inspiring those of us who will soon be lawyers." Please keep writing.

The Dems were proud to celebrate the passage of the For the People Act (HR 1) with @mawaldman tonight. The Senate must act to protect the right to vote for every American.
“The For the People Act would ensure that the freedom to be heard in government – whether as a constituent, a voter, or a candidate – is the same for everyone, regardless of race or wealth," said @mawaldman. https://t.co/LAYxqDwz54

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay we honor the 6 million Jews murdered & millions of others victimized—including many LGBTQ people—by the Nazi regime. The horrors of the Holocaust continue to haunt us, & it's clear our work combating anti-Semitism & hate is far from over. #WeRemember
