Friend,

The Alliance for Youth Action network has always fought for Democracy Done Right, but during the primaries too many experienced long lines at polling locations, a national shortage of poll workers, and efforts to suppress the youth vote. Our democracy is under attack. 

The Alliance for Youth Action network organizes every day to protect our democracy. Now, nearly 100 days until the general election, we need your help. 

From placing a polling site on your campus to registering your friends to vote, there is something everyone can do to ensure all voices are heard this November. Here are five ways you can help us protect democracy. 

IN THE NEWS

Recently, the Alliance made it big in the New York Times! How Democrats Can Win the Youth Vote in November, an opinion piece by Rainesford Stauffer, highlights the peer-to-peer organizing work the Alliance network does every day to turn out young voters. This illuminating article features organizers from Leaders Igniting Transformation, New Era Colorado, MOVE Texas, and Minnesota Youth Collective. After you read the article, check out this interview with Rainesford and New York Times Opinion Editor, Jen Parker on Instagram.

With the nation’s largest voting bloc enthusiastic to cast their ballot this November, it’s more important than ever that we protect our democracy. Like Rainesford Stauffer said in her opinion piece, “It’s easy to ding young people for apathy. But it’s harder to examine and correct everything getting in the way, like voter suppression, a lack of civic education and plain old outreach.” That’s what we’re doing—the hard organizing work.

To democracy done right,
