Organizing
We are building the next generation of leaders of color by uplifting youth voices, providing leadership development opportunities, and empowering young people to take action.
We’re engaging youth ages 13-18 to push for change.
We’re organizing young creatives to contribute to our campaigns through digital distribution.
We’re promoting advocacy and leadership development among college students.
High School
Our high school organizing department works with students ages 13-18 within Milwaukee Public Schools, the largest and most diverse school district in Wisconsin. Although most of our high school members are not of voting age, they are still participating in the political process in other ways. They host community forums, canvass their neighborhoods, run voter registration drives, and engage directly with local officials to push for change. We offer paid fellowship opportunities to further students’ leadership and skill development.
College
College students are rising up as the new wave of political leaders and organizers to protect our democracy and stand up to bigotry and hate. We are furthering students’ leadership development and organizing skills on campuses across Wisconsin. We engage students to advocate to change campus policies and to increase civic engagement on campus. We offer paid fellowship and internship opportunities to further this work.
Digital
Social media platforms serve as a crucial complement of voter education and registration efforts, reaching youth that other efforts do not. We are mobilizing young creatives who can breathe life into our political and civic campaigns digitally. We offer meaningful opportunities for artistic young people in storytelling, message creation, and digital distribution, taking advantage of the power and role that social media will continue to play in getting young people politically engaged.
