Friend,

This year, California's future hangs in the balance, and young voters hold
the power to tip the scales. From climate action to health care access,
and education equity to housing justice, the issues we face demand fresh
perspectives and bold solutions.

But here’s the thing: Only 29% of young Californians are regular
voters.(1) And a depressing 42% of youth believe that their vote doesn’t
matter.(2) That's not just a missed opportunity; it's a surrender of our
collective voice.

Courage California is tipping the scales back in the right direction --
and we’ve already made incredible strides with Generation Z. Just this
year, we engaged tens of thousands of people on TikTok, the most popular
Gen Z social media platform, with videos about how their voices can change
California for the better.

[ [link removed] ]We need your help to continue this trend and make even more engaging
content for Gen Z voters in 2024. Will you make a year-end donation now?

I remember when I got involved in social change work, and I bet you do,
too. Remember that feeling of endless possibility, of believing you could
change the world?

That's the fire that could be burning in young voters, and it's our
responsibility to fan it into a roaring and activated flame.

At Courage California, we're on a mission to ignite the youth vote across
the state. We're registering young people, mobilizing communities, and
providing resources to make sure every voice is heard.

Here's why your support is crucial:

We're building a digital wave: Courage is creating engaging content,
targeted ads, and interactive tools to reach young people where they are
-- online. Our TikTok videos tell them just how California should be
serving their interests and which representatives are looking out for
them. And our Uplift Courage team is making our content go viral.

We're breaking down barriers: Courage is also providing essential voter
education resources to ensure every young person has the tools they need
to participate. And we’re building our easy-to-read Courage Voter Guide
and Courage Score to explain just who is fighting for corporate power and
who is actually fighting for the people.

This isn't just about politics -- it's about the future we want to build.
A future where young voices shape our communities, their dreams guide our
policies, and their energy propels us forward.

We are grateful for your support,

Irene and the rest of the Courage team
