Friends,
As many of you have probably heard, The California Young Democrats were hit by the scandal involving paid accountant Kinde Durkee. Every penny we have been able to raise over the past year and a half was included in those funds and are now gone.
We need your support! Your contribution of $10, $25, $50, $100 or more will be a huge help in us getting back on our feet. We may be broke but we’re not broken! Despite this huge setback we remain strong in our commitment to be game changers. More so now, than ever before, we need you to stand with us as we march into 2012 ready to re-elect President Obama, maintain (if not increase) the number of Black Elected Officials representing us in Sacramento & Washington, and bring a whole new generation of young African Americans into the political process. We cannot do this without you and your support!
From CYD:
The California Young Democrats employed Durkee & Associates as a professional treasurer. We thought we were getting top notch professional service from a firm trusted by many of California's most prominent Democratic organizations and elected officials.
In the wake of Kinde Durkee’s arrest for fraud, CYD’s bank accounts have been frozen. We cannot access them, and we don’t know if there is any money in them to access.
