John,

Earlier this week, President Biden addressed the nation with his second State of the Union speech since taking office in 2020. During this year’s address, Biden celebrated creating new jobs, passing a slate of bipartisan legislation, and seeing falling inflation rates. But the biggest takeaway from the President’s speech was that America has the tools to do even more, we just need to finish the job.

Youth organizers have always been the backbone of progress in this country, and 2023 is already shaping up to be a big year for change at the local and state levels. And the Alliance Network isn’t sleeping on this opportunity.

Here is a glimpse of what our state of issue organizing looks like in a big year for legislation and state budgeting. 

Alliance Network youth organizers work on multiple issues in their communities like democracy and voting rights, abortion access and reproductive rights, economic justice, and the state budget process. Head over to the Alliance blog to see what the network has planned this year.

Stay connected with us by choosing your Alliance Squad and making sure you’re following us on social media! The Alliance Network has plenty more to come in 2023 to address issues including affordable housing, LGBTQ+ advocacy, climate justice, marijuana decriminalization, ending policing in schools, Indigenous and tribal advocacy, and restorative justice. 

It will take our collective power to hold Congress and the Biden Administration accountable to take action. Together, let’s support the youth organizers mobilizing their peers to create a just economy, stronger democracy, and thriving communities. 

Let’s join young people to finish the job. 

Onward,

Dakota Hall

Executive Director
