Dear President Biden, 

A New Deal for Youth (ND4Y) is a youth-led, youth-centered effort advocating for the creation of new systems, policies, investments, and structures that reimagine life for young people in America. Through defining and advancing a transformational and holistic agenda that addresses the urgent challenges young people are facing due to COVID-19, the economic downturn, and structural racism, A New Deal for Youth Changemakers, partners, and allies are developing visionary policy proposals and community solutions that help shape public discourse and that decision-makers at the federal, state, and local levels and in the private sector can implement to address this crisis. 

ND4Y works across six issue areas: economic justice and opportunity, healing and wellbeing, justice and safe communities, democracy and civic engagement, environmental justice, and immigration justice. 

I am writing to you on behalf of the New Deal for Youth initiative to take action and sign onto our New Deal for Youth Demands:

Increase accountability across the federal government to young people with lived experience or who will be directly impacted by policies and programs by requiring consultation with youth leaders as proposals are developed and implemented.
The Administration should build a pipeline for young people to be directly involved in policy making – such as through targeted, paid internships, fellowships and leadership summits. Sustained investments help to avoid tokenism.
Work with us to address our top asks that can be found below and on our website, [link removed], under "Federal Administrative Advocacy."

A New Deal for Youth holistically advances youth justice by developing policies for youth, by youth. Our new ideas offer a more youthful view and a fresh perspective that will push conversation and ideas forward. We bring ideas to the table that are impacting future generations and need immediate attention. And we believe our government should be setting youth up for success.
