Hey, John!
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. EVERY election counts. This midterm election, millions of young people across the country put on their capes to be the superheroes of democracy. Their votes made a change in their communities and solidified the Gen Z and Millennial voting bloc as a political force. This year was the second-highest youth voter turnout in a midterm election in the last three decades. In several states like Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, it was young people that elected Democrats and rejected Trump-backed election deniers. The youth vote will continue to be the deciding factor in our elections, and should not be taken for granted.
Across 18 states, our network turned out young voters leading to some incredible victories and preserving our democracy. Next week, we’ll dive deeper into the Alliance Network’s impact on this year’s midterm elections. But let’s not wait to celebrate! Check out these highlights from the Alliance Network so far. 👇🏽
