Just a month ago, the outlook for youth turnout in the upcoming election seemed grim. Polls showed President Biden struggling with younger voters—more so than any Democratic candidate in recent history. Organizations like ours were preparing to go into overdrive to bridge the gap. It was a daunting challenge.
But then, something extraordinary happened.
The tides have shifted, and our concern has transformed into a new challenge: a FLOOD of young people stepping up to join our youth organizing programs in battleground states and the Youth Power Fund. This surge of enthusiasm has redefined our mission, and now, we need your help to scale up our efforts in these final critical months before the election.
As noted by the New Yorker in a recent article, Kamala Harris has sparked an unprecedented wave of excitement among young voters. The youth enthusiasm we're seeing now is reminiscent of the electrifying energy from the 2008 election. This surge in engagement has monumental implications—not just for securing the White House but for the future of the Senate and the House of Representatives as well. A Democratic trifecta is within our grasp, opening the door for transformative policies on healthcare, abortion rights, education, economic justice, and more.
Our youth organizing programs are designed to make a real difference. Studies show that our efforts can increase youth voter turnout by up to 8% in battleground districts. This is the kind of momentum that can shift the entire electoral map.
With the clock ticking, we need your support to ensure that this wave of youth engagement reaches its full potential. Your donation can help us expand our reach and harness the energy of young voters ready to make their voices heard.
