The Massachusetts Young Democrats invite you to join us in Boston, Massachusetts, from December 6 through December 8 to experience the vibrant energy of the Bay State while enjoying the beautiful views at the Hyatt Place Boston Seaport. Situated along the waterfront, Boston is steeped in rich history and has played a pivotal role in American politics, from the early days of the revolution to the current political scene. It’s home to iconic landmarks like the Freedom Trail, the Boston Tea Party Ships, and the Massachusetts State House. We welcome you to join us as we hear from Massachusetts state and local elected officials and organizers about the political landscape, reflect on the 2024 election, and plan for what's next.
Massachusetts has a strong tradition of leading on progressive issues, from healthcare to education, and local elections have played a crucial role in shaping policy and driving change over the years. From pushing for universal healthcare to advancing climate policy and criminal justice reform, Democrats in the Commonwealth have demonstrated the impact that strong state and local leadership can have on advancing a progressive vision.
This year’s theme, Fueling the Fight: Building Movements and Taking Care of Ourselves, underscores the idea that the work must continue no matter the election outcomes. Whether we are in a position of victory where the work cannot stop or face immense challenges, we know the fight for progress must go on. At the same time, it's essential to focus on boundary-setting and self-care to prevent burnout and ensure we’re equipped for the long haul.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll hear from speakers across Massachusetts who share their experiences and insights on organizing, building support across diverse communities, and preparing for the future. Experts will also provide guidance on how to take care of ourselves while sustaining the work, helping us balance our commitment to the movement with our personal well-being. Join us for a weekend of reflection, inspiration, and forward-thinking as we continue to fuel the fight for progressive change.
