Historically, only 39% percent of young people vote. In 2020 the nation saw a drastic change in that number with young people turning out at unprecedented levels. Carrying this momentum forward into this year’s election is essential. Millennials and Gen Z now represent the second largest portion of the electorate. Their voice and action matter!  
 
Breaking down the myth that young people “don’t know enough to vote” is essential. We must support youth in advocating for issues that matter to them and build a system that ensures they have access to voting. Developing confidence as a voter comes from your community and peers. Help us create that network!
