Welcome to MYDFL.org

"YOU are the future of America."  You've probably heard a variation on this phrase at every commencement speech you've ever attended.  Just about any time someone addresses a group of youths, the "future" is invoked as some mystical time at which the young will find themselves empowered.

 The Minnesota Young DFL (MYDFL) is here to tell you that you are not the future of America.  You are America.  Right now.

 MYDFL is driven by the reality that true power resides in people.  We are organizing young people to achieve political power through issue advocacy, electoral campaigns and party influence.  With these tools of empowerment, young people are not bystanders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today.

 Don/t let anyone tell you that your time will come.  Your time is here.  Join us today.
