Dear John,

As young people see how the tobacco industry is targeting them, addicting their peers, and impacting their families, they rise in their power, unapologetically speaking up with passion, bravery and conviction.

For 25 years, Tobacco-Free Kids has invested in the power of young people to bring about meaningful social change. And we have seen how critical youth voices are in influencing and moving national, state and local campaigns forward – working alongside them as they create a healthier, more socially just community.

Give to the Barrie Fiske Youth Leadership Fund to supercharge our work with young people:

In 2022, we took our Youth Advocacy initiatives to a new level.

Here are a few highlights:

Youth Advocacy Tour

We completed our cross-country Take Down Tobacco Youth Advocacy Tour that included workshops in several major cities to engage and train youth advocates who are fighting for the first tobacco-free generation. 

National Day of Action

We activated youth across the country and online through our annual Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action, held on April Fool’s Day, and encouraged them to call out the biggest joker in history: Big Tobacco. 

Campaign for the Culture

Our youth advocates were featured in our Campaign for the Culture cultural conversation series, including our 2022 Barrie Fiske National Youth Advocate of the Year, Agamroop Kaur, who spoke to the intersection of mental health and tobacco use among young people.

Global Young Ambassadors Summit

We brought together more than 25 advocates from 17 countries to launch a global network to take on the tobacco industry at the inaugural Global Young Ambassadors Summit in Istanbul. 

We’ve always known that young changemakers are the key to ending the tobacco epidemic once and for all, and I’m committed to supporting them every step of the way.

But I need you with us, John. Your support is so important to our ability to make positive impact in the lives of young people.

Will you make a donation by year-end to our Barrie Fiske Youth Leadership Fund so we can take our youth advocacy initiatives even further in 2023?

When you support the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, you’re supporting young leaders across the country – and around the world – who are fighting for a better tomorrow. 

Thank you for standing with us!

Best wishes,

Gustavo Torrez
Director of Youth Advocacy
