Young people are facing shrinking economic opportunity, an affordability crisis, and a loss of community. Further, AI is threatening to accelerate each of these problems. Neither political party is prioritizing these pressing issues affecting our generation, and as a result, our generation is losing faith in the American Dream.
The Young People’s Alliance is a moment completely led by and for young people to reclaim the American Dream. We are developing innovative, bipartisan policy solutions that actually work for our generation, building a nationwide grassroots network of young people, and achieving real policy change for our generation in DC and state legislatures.
Members play a key role in our mission of empowering young people to shape the future. You will be on the front lines of building a youth movement that can secure real change on the issues affecting our generation. We are excited to meet you!
