On Thursday, January 31st at 7:00 pm the San Fernando Valley Young Democrats will host the 5th Annual Robert F. Kennedy Awards Reception to honor outstanding Democratic leaders. Please note the LOCATION CHANGE above!

This year SFVYD is proud to recognize two heroes who have played an instrumental role in progressive politics. They are Ms. Robin Kramer, Chief of Staff to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Mr. Rick Jacobs, Founder and Chairman of the Courage Campaign.

We are also pleased to announce that the recipient of our annual RFK "Ripple of Hope" Award, honoring an outstanding Young Democrat, will be Mr. Adam Seiden, for his tireless efforts encouraging young Democratic
involvement in the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, of which he is the Executive Director.

The RFK Awards Reception is SFVYD's most popular and best attended event of the year. We hope you will join us in honoring these three champions for their innumerable contributions to Young Democrats and
Valley politics.
