Dear John
For over a decade, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has spent exactly $0 on youth organizing. Zero dollars to support the most dynamic, progressive, and reliably Democratic voting bloc. Zero dollars to counteract the millions Republicans pour into groups like Turning Point USA to engage young conservatives. Zero dollars to build the foundation for long-term progressive success.
Young people are not just votes in November, they are organizers, advocates, and the future leaders of the Democratic Party. Investing in their political engagement today means ensuring a more inclusive, equitable, and forward-thinking Democratic Party tomorrow. Yet, the DNC continues to take them for granted, ignoring the fact that voter engagement starts young and sets habits for life.
The Republican strategy is clear: chip away at the youth vote until they’ve flipped it. They’re funding their youth-focused initiatives, recruiting young leaders, and shaping the next generation of their party. Without a robust response, Democrats risk losing the edge we’ve long held with this critical group.
Send the DNC a loud and clear message: Stop taking young people for granted. Start funding youth organizing today.
This isn’t just about the next election, it’s about the future of the Democratic Party. We need the DNC to step up and dedicate real resources to youth organizing. Every dollar spent here is an investment in grassroots power, a stronger democracy, and decades of future electoral victories.
Our message is clear: Stop neglecting young voters. Stop ignoring the energy and enthusiasm of progressive youth. Start building an infrastructure that harnesses their passion and turns it into political power.
The DNC’s inaction is costing us elections, and it’s putting the future of progressive leadership in jeopardy.
The Democratic Party’s future depends on its ability to engage and inspire the next generation.
Tell the next chair of the Democratic National Committee: Invest more than $0 in youth organizing!
Together, we can demand the change our party needs to stay competitive and connected to its most passionate base.
