They rigged democracy against us!

WE'RE STUDENTS FIGHTING FOR THE ONE WE DESERVE!

Our democracy is rigged & authoritarianism is raging
Authoritarianism is raging.

Our futures look increasingly unaffordable, unjust, and unlivable.

But students have been the leaders of movements for freedom & true democracy.

That's why we're organizing across 6 campaigns to win a democracy that works for our generation — not the billionaires & corporations.

We don’t have hubs. Our team organizes national campaigns and we’ll partner with, and center, local groups to coordinate actions on-the-ground.

If you lead an organization or student group and would like to collaborate, we invite you to partner with one of our campaigns here!

If you’re interested in organizing for electoral justice with a hub, we encourage you to check out our friends at Generation Vote!

Our Generation Deserves True Democracy!

True democracy is multiracial, multigenerational, and cross-class. True democracy doesn’t include corporate interests buying elections or gerrymandered districts. That’s why we have to build the democracy our generation deserves.

Does the Task Force have hubs?

We don’t have hubs. Our team organizes national campaigns and we’ll partner with, and center, local groups to coordinate actions on-the-ground.

If you lead an organization or student group and would like to collaborate, we invite you to partner with one of our campaigns here!

If you’re interested in organizing for electoral justice with a hub, we encourage you to check out our friends at Generation Vote!
