[[link removed]] This year, Alliance organizations graduated 214 summer fellows and interns in 29 cities!

Hey John,
In the Alliance network, organizing work is seen as not only a pathway to change, but a leadership development opportunity for hundreds of young leaders each year. That is why Alliance orgs do not take a break in the summer. Instead, they run summer programming to continue building youth political power year-round.

Fellows and Interns threw down this summer. Here are a few of our fave highlights from their work this summer:

Georgia Shift fellows drafted two pieces of legislation about a need-based financial aid program and in-state tuition for DACA recipients.
20 new young leaders graduated from Leaders Igniting Transformation’s second annual Black Hogwarts program learning about everything from community organizing to anti-oppression work.
Minnesota Youth Collective’s fellows helped build and launch two new issue campaigns around Democracy Done Right and Broke AF.
40 summer fellows (yes, 40!) organized with MOVE Texas to fight for paid sick time and close the border camps.
Next Up fellows collected 650 pledge-to-vote cards at community events across the city. In addition to this work, they also spread the word about Next Up’s rebrand, ensuring that young people across the tri-county area know about the organization's exciting transition and what they have coming up next.
Fellows from Pennsylvania Student Power Network led a campaign that eventually forced the Pennsylvania Board of Governors to freeze tuition for the first time in 21 years

We are so proud of these summer fellowship and intern programs because they not only support the critical organizing work year-round, but they are also training the fierce, young organizers we need in communities throughout the country.
