Hey -- it’s David Hogg, gun safety advocate and co-founder of March For
Our Lives.
The Harvard Kennedy School director of polling just published a New York
Times oped about the youth vote in 2024 that should scare (and motivate)
us all:
The latest battleground state polls by The New York Times and Siena
College show Mr. Biden holding a one-point lead over Mr. Trump among
registered voters under 30 and a six-point lead among likely voters in the
same age category. In 2020, exit polls showed Mr. Biden winning the youth
vote cohort, 60 to 36 percent.
The oped identified a "vexing challenge" for Democrats of "connecting with
a young, diverse electorate."
We have a solution: To connect with young voters, let's run more young
candidates for office! It's why we launched Leaders We Deserve -- a
grassroots organization dedicated to electing young leaders to Congress
and state legislatures. This will increase voter turnout up-ballot for all
Democrats and help to defeat fascism.

between Leaders We Deserve and our partners at the Progressive Change
Campaign Committee today?
I’ll be blunt: There is no shortage of people who want us to fail. And
unless we band together and fight back, nothing is going to change.
It’s part of why despite making up 45% of the electorate, Gen Z and
Millennials only hold 21% of State Legislature seats.
Special interest groups, far-right extremists, and those hoarding the
power are so determined to maintain the status quo that they will spend
millions to keep Gen Z candidates from winning. They think that they can
continue to manipulate the system to keep us out of elected office.
If they succeed, voter turnout will be lower in 2024 and we could lose
democracy.

Leaders We Deserve and our partners at the Progressive Change Campaign
Committee today?
