We’re bringing young people in florida and across the country together to fight for the future we all deserve.
SUPPORT BUILDING YOUTH POLITICAL POWER IN 2020!
We are not extraordinary. We don’t have wealth, fame, or royalty to inherit. We are the descendants of enslaved peoples, indigenous nations, and migrants who left familiar lands, so that we may have a chance to survive. History will not remember most of our names. But what marks us and the legacies we will leave behind is this: we made a deep, lasting, and unshakable commitment to loving the people, to fighting alongside the people, and to teaching our generation to step into our power, because ordinary people can remake the world.
For too long, out-of-touch politicians have prioritized the voices of wealthy lobbyists and big corporations, over us and our families.
As a result, we are living in a time where we our public schools are crumbling, job prospects are low, families are being separated, our peers are being shot down in the streets and climate catastrophe is looming.
But we’re flipping the script. Our generation has proven that young people in Florida and around the country have always risen to the challenge. We have been the catalyst for a growing national movement of youth who are armed with a new vision for the future - a future where our communities have everything they need, and the greater good of all is prioritized over profits for a few. A future where our schools are funded instead of prisons. Where every parent has what they need to raise their children. A future where we don’t have to be scared to go to school or walk down the street. A future where Trayvon would have been offered a ride home instead.
And because our lives and the lives of the people we love depend on it, we have chosen to take a side in this election: to stand against a world order rooted in greed, authoritarianism, and violence.
