The November 2024 general election will see the largest Gen Z electorate in history, with over 40M young Americans eligible to vote for the first time. And we're not letting this opportunity pass us by - that’s why we rise. Learn how we're unleashing the #youthwave in 2024.

The Supreme Court is launching a series of all-out attacks on youth. We must depoliticize the Court in order to advance equity and justice. Read our full statement with @nn4youth, @RiseFreeOrg, @genratify, @genzforchange, @sunrisemvmt, and @VotersTomorrow.

Mary-Pat Hector, @RiseFreeOrg: In two days, the Court – which represents an elite few, has dismantled years of hard work by youth & organizers to fight for student debt forgiveness, equitable access to higher ed & basic rights for all regardless of their sexual orientation.
