BABE VOTE From their website:

"They call us Gen Z, Millennials, Dreamers, Kids, Tech Babies. They think young people don't care, that we are apathetic Netflix- binging, espresso drinkers, who spend our days watching Tik-Tok videos. They think we don't care about policy or government. We're just Instagram consumers who like avocado toast.

But we DO pay attention and we're ready to demand an equitable future using our vote. We are wiser. We are voters now. We will vote in every election from now on. We will achieve the change we are longing for in our leadership, economy and opportunity. We will change America—one election at a time."

"Blue Future is a national organizing program run out of the Youth Progressive Action Catalyst, the largest progressive, youth-led, political action committee in America. We envision a world where no matter our color or origin, our income or zip code, desire and determination are the only things getting in the way of young people's ability to push for a transformative and progressive agenda."

Dream for America From their website:

"Dream for America is a Gen Z-led 501(c)4 non-profit founded on July 4th, 2023 by William He focused on identifying, educating, and mobilizing America's students to promote the principles of freedom, democracy, & progressive government. We're building the most organized, active, and powerful pro-democracy grassroots network both online and on-campuses across the country to engage young Americans of all backgrounds at all times — not just on the eve of an election.

We believe that every young American can be illuminated towards real democratic values and inspired to usher in a new wave of pro-democracy progressivism echoing the visions of Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, & President Joe Biden. Against the backdrop of hateful and divisive far-right forces drawing young Americans towards extremism — Dream for America is here to chart a better course, offer young people a better vision for America, and reclaim the values of freedom and patriotism as an American value — rather than a conservative one."

"We are the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, a coalition of Black, brown, and LGBTQ+ students ages 14-22 fighting for education justice from the classroom to the capitol."

"In 2022, we secured over one billion dollars in funding for our schools, stopped Don't Say Gay legislation, and defeated every book ban in the state of Georgia. We paid and trained over 1000 students in legislative advocacy, community organizing, movement history, and storytelling. During the midterm election cycle, we ran the largest youth-mobilizing-youth effort in Georgia with over 600 paid student organizers, more than half a million voter contacts, and 170,000 face-to-face conversations with young Black and brown voters. We toured the state to listen to & engage Georgia's next generation, and we held elected officials responsible to parents & students at the ballot box."

JUV Consulting From their website:

"JUV is the brainchild of three 16-year-olds who found themselves in rooms with politicians, leaders, and "youth experts" who were constantly talking about how to capture the attention of Gen Z. There was just one problem: nobody was talking to young people — just at them.

Established in 2016, JUV is the voice of a misunderstood generation. We are a diverse team of about 100 strategic consultants and creative freelancers, all between the ages of 14-23.

As students, creators, mobilizers and more, we strive to make a real impact in the marketing world with our purpose-driven work. (The best part? We literally love doing it!)"

Path to Progress From their website:

"Path to Progress is a no-holds-barred, youth-led multimedia organization working to advance progressive policy goals with simple and digestible digital content and groundbreaking policy proposals."

"We believe that progress is an enduring path, not a single destination. The policy and messaging goals that we set now are not going to be adequate in even the near future, as our social and political landscapes evolve. As society continues to change, what progress looks like changes as well — and we're continuing to walk on a jagged path toward the horizon of justice which no matter how hard we work moves further and further away. This dynamic of progress can be frustrating, but it is unavoidable given that our current vision must change as time goes on and that we must be adaptive in order to keep striving for meaningful, positive change."

Students Demand Action From their website:

"We are young activists committed to ending gun violence. We are Students Demand Action. When lawmakers offered thoughts and prayers but little meaningful action after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, high school and college students across the country came together to make our voices heard. Students Demand Action started in 2016 as a pilot program and, with a sense of urgency, we launched it as a national initiative within two weeks of the Parkland shooting."

Sunrise Movement From their website:

"The Sunrise Movement is a youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We're building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and elect leaders who stand up for the health and wellbeing of all people."

Team Enough From their website:

"We are Team ENOUGH, a youth-led organization whose mission is to educate young voices about gun violence and mobilize them to take meaningful action against it. Supported by Brady, we harness the expertise and experience of today's youth to advance our intersectional work across the country."

"We are survivors of gun violence; we are students; we are activists: we are people who experience gun violence in different ways — and to different degrees. This epidemic has an outsized impact on Black and Brown communities, disproportionately spilling their blood in school shootings, in angry encounters between friends and family, in acts of self-harm and suicide, and in conflicts born of domestic violence — avoidable tragedies, one and all, each made more lethal by easy access to guns. But we believe that diversity is a strength, and that only when everyone has a seat at the table can we build an effective movement to prevent all gun violence in all communities."

United We Dream From their website:

"United We Dream is committed to ensuring that people who are, have been, or will be directly impacted by the immigrant experience are at the forefront of decision-making and throughout UWD."

"Our greatest strength comes from people. UWD knows that our communities have the answers and resources they need to create the change they want. We organize at the grassroots level to build relationships and empower communities to articulate and implement those answers by elevating their work, not individual voices. In order to create a strong organization and be part of a larger movement we create spaces where members are constantly learning, challenging themselves and their peers and seeking personal and collective empowerment."

Voters of Tomorrow From their website:

"While many groups expose young people to dangerous ideas, there are few pro-democracy organizations countering their efforts. Voters of Tomorrow is filling that void with effective organizing and messaging online and on campuses to encourage young people to become civically engaged.

We carry out research to fully understand Gen Z's position on a range of issues, then use this data to guide our public and behind-the-scenes advocacy campaigns. Additionally, we develop and promote initiatives to encourage Gen Z to vote for pro-democracy candidates."
