We empower young people to be players and winners in the political game.
The League makes politics relevant, fun and meaningful to young people. We meet young people where they are, work on issues that affect their lives, and provide tools and training to make them viable players in the political game.
Our long term strategy is to build an inspired, engaged and effective culture and community around youth participation. We're building permanent progressive youth-driven field and issue based campaigns that will build power to significantly impact local, state, and federal policy and elections nationwide. We expect it will take decades to achieve this scale, but we're in it for the long haul.
And no, we don't just register voters. Here's the five-bullet-point version of what we do:
-
Engage young people who have been shut out of the political process.
-
Train them to be sophisticated organizers in their own communities.
-
Build multi-racial, multi-issue alliances.
-
Lobby at the local, state, and national level.
-
Organize voters, support candidates, and hold them accountable once they're in office.
