This meeting is the heartbeat of our organization. We’ll be discussing our strategy for the upcoming months, outlining our goals for Knox County, and ensuring every member has a voice in our movement.

Join Knox Young Democrats in supporting one of our very own Young Dems, Cadence Collins, candidate for School Board, as we walk with her in Knoxville’s Juneteenth Parade!

As we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, we also recognize that the work of achieving true freedom and equality continues. From book bans and attacks on public education to redistricting and barriers to representation, showing up in solidarity remains essential.

Parade registration and lineup begin at 8:30 AM at Chilhowee Park, with step-off at 10:00 AM. Following the parade, Juneteenth festivities will continue at Dr. Walter Hardy Park from 11:00 AM–3:00 PM with music, entertainment, vendors, and family-friendly activities.

Sign up and join us in supporting Cadence and celebrating Juneteenth with our community!

How to get involved:

Volunteer for a Tabling Shift

Help us staff our booth! We are looking for volunteers to take 2-hour shifts to help register voters, talk to community members, and collect mutual aid donations. No experience is necessary - we will provide all the training and materials. Select your preferred shift time when you sign up!

Ever wonder how local decisions actually get made? Join the Knox Young Dems Observer Corps! We are civically engaged watchdogs who attend local government meetings to ensure transparency and accountability.

The Knox County Commission makes decisions every month on land use, healthcare, infrastructure and more - decisions that will shape Knox County for the next 30 years. Currently, the 18–35 demographic is underrepresented in these rooms. We are changing that by becoming the "eyes and ears" of the community.

Join us for a virtual training session.

What we will cover:

Step-by-step training on how to securely and accurately help someone register to vote in Tennessee.

Local regulations and common pitfalls to avoid so every single form gets counted.
