Young activists have made one thing abundantly clear: When we fight back, we win
I’ll never forget the first time I voted. It was a 2015 Texas constitutional election and I was ready to make my voice heard after an organizer at The University of Texas at San Antonio registered me to vote and got me to the polls. I come from a family that never talked about politics — they were committed to our community but distrusted the political system, as so many do. But when I was able to vote for that very first time, I was taking my power back.
In the months leading up to the 2020 presidential election, I’m sure we will hear the same old, tired talking points about how young people “don’t vote” because they’re “apathetic.” Candidates scurry around the country, asking for our votes but fail to invest in getting our communities to turn out.shows that at least 58 percent of young Democrats have never been contacted by a presidential campaign through text message, phone call, or in person at their door.
