John,

This week, President Biden took the stage to deliver his first State of the Union Address where he spoke directly to the American people about his vision for the nation. And then it was our turn. 

“We have to make sure the Biden Administration is taking youth priorities seriously…I’m talking about investment into schools, investment into higher education, investment into youth mental health services, housing, food...Everything is interconnected.”

- Dakota Hall, Executive Director of the Alliance

On Instagram Live, Alliance Executive Director Dakota Hall joined Marlén Mendoza from Youth Action Hour & Young People Address the Nation and Eve Levenson from Youth In Gov to talk about President Biden’s address and what it meant for young people. They discussed what issues we still want to see action on and how to keep the Biden Administration accountable to young voters who will be a key voting bloc for years to come.

Alliance Network organizers from Mississippi Votes, Loud Light, and Forward Montana shared their own messages on the state of the nation with Young People Address the Nation.

The Alliance Twitter was hot all evening! Read our live reactions to Biden’s address over on our Twitter.

Earlier this year our sister organization, Alliance for Youth Organizing, in collaboration with Civiqs, surveyed young voters nationwide from across the political spectrum. Check out the results to see where young people stand on some of the issues addressed in Biden’s speech.

It will take our collective power to make sure Congress and the Biden Administration center the demands of young people. Together, let’s continue mobilizing our communities for a stronger democracy, a just economy, and a thriving future!

To centering the priorities of young people,

Daniela Mrabti

Digital Director
