Hey Friend, it’s David Hogg.
It’s pretty simple. Young people are FED UP with the cowards in our government who sit back and let our planet burn and kids are slaughtered in school all as Republicans say that the government can’t do anything only to go on and prove it by making it not work—so we’re stepping up to do something about it.
We’re just a few weeks into 2024, but Gen Z candidates are already rising up to run for office, grow our ranks in the halls of power, and fight with urgency to change the trajectory of our future.
But at the same time, special interest groups, far-right extremists, and those hoarding power are so determined to maintain the status quo that they will spend millions of dollars to keep Gen Z candidates from winning.
Leaders We Deserve is fighting back. We’re recruiting, training, organizing, and financially investing in young progressives running for office. But the scale of our efforts (including exactly how many candidates we’re able to support) depends on how much we’re able to raise.
