They rigged democracy against us!

WE'RE STUDENTS FIGHTING FOR THE ONE WE DESERVE!

https://taskforceusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Orientation-Task-Force-for-Democracy-3.png

We can organize our generation to win a democracy that works for us.

Our democracy is rigged & authoritarianism is raging

Billionaires & corporations have captured our education, our economy, and our elections.

Dark money floods our elections. White supremacists are trying to overturn decades of voting rights progress that people fought & died for. Working-class people have virtually no say in how our system is run.

Our democracy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as intended.

Students have a historical call to led movements for democracy

Throughout history & around the world, young people have led the charge to win a democratic future. Whether it’s the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) during the Civil Rights Movement, or the student-led Otpor movement in Serbia — youth are the spark for mass-movements for democracy.

We know that if we’re going to defeat authoritarianism again today, young people have to lead the way.

We're organizing to win a democracy that works for our generation!

The democracy we deserve isn’t one that ends with our elections, but one that extends to our education, our economy, and our workplaces.

Across our campaigns, we’re organizing students & young people nationally to win a just and inclusive democracy that works for us — not the corporations, billionaires, and their bought-out politicians.

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!
