This is David Hogg. Republicans know they have a problem with young
voters. It’s why they’ve spent so much time and effort trying to stop us
from voting, whether it’s through restrictive voting laws designed to stop
college students from casting ballots or their outrageous proposals to
raise the voting age.
But they’re starting to wake up to the fact that whether they like it or
not, young people will vote if they’re motivated to turn out.
So they are changing tactics. ALEC Action — the campaign arm of the
American Legislative Exchange Council, which pushes for the passage of
ultra-right-wing bills in state legislatures across the country — is
teaming up with Run GenZ to boost young "conservatives" who are running
for office.
[ [link removed] ]Seem like a familiar strategy? We thought so too. Will you split 10
bucks or any amount you can between Leaders We Deserve and the PCCC? Every
donation helps us double down on our strategy to elect progressive young
leaders instead.
But let’s be real for a second. The fact that the Republican Party is
nearly entirely dominated by old, out-of-touch white dudes isn’t the real
source of their problem with young voters (though it certainly doesn’t
help).
Republicans have a young voter problem because of their platform. Young
people today have grown up amidst near-constant mass shootings across the
country, including in our schools. We see the evidence of a changing
climate before our very eyes, and we know the impact it could have on our
future.
But despite all this, Republicans have consistently fought to make it
easier to access dangerous guns and stood in the way of common-sense gun
safety laws that could keep young people safe in school. And they continue
to deny the reality of climate change in the face of overwhelming
evidence.
Plus, while young people today are more pro-choice and pro-equality than
ever, Republicans across the country have made it their mission to chip
away at LGBTQ rights and pass draconian abortion bans, often with no
exceptions whatsoever.
So MAGA is welcome to put a fresh young face on their horrible old
policies — but that won’t change the fact that young voters are
overwhelmingly opposed to their agenda.
In contrast, Leaders We Deserve is working to elect young leaders who will
fight for young peoples’ priorities, not against them. But we’re a
grassroots organization that takes no corporate funding, so we’re counting
on your support to do it. The PCCC has been one of our biggest supporters
right from the beginning. We need your continued support today!

young people as the sham it is, split 10 bucks or anything you can right
now to help us elect the leaders we really deserve on Election Day.
