Young people have continued to turn out in record numbers because we believe in a democracy where America’s voting system is strengthened and protected. Join the Democracy Done Right campaign today by adding your name to our petition!

Thousands of student debt activists took action through our Dreams Not Debt campaign to demand President Biden make good on his campaign promise to cancel federal student loan debt, and back in August, we won! But now, new challenges stand in our way.

Today, we’re celebrating Dakota’s one-year anniversary as our Executive Director at the Alliance! Dakota leads us with the belief that through the power of youth organizing, we can create a liberated community. And under his leadership this past year, we have strived toward that vision.

Young people across the Alliance Network have been organizing their communities all year long, and it’s all been leading up to today. Election Day is finally here and we have so much to celebrate already.

From creating voter guides, to endorsing candidates, to compiling voter resources, to registering voters, youth organizers have been putting in the work to make the change they want to see. Now it’s time to do your part. Make sure you, your friends, and family use Alliance resources to make a plan to vote today!

As the leaves change and November 8th approaches, what better way to get communities #VoteReady than by celebrating the Civic Holidays?! And no one does it better than the Alliance Network!

Youth organizers in the Alliance Network have been doing Democracy Done Right work for years and have paved the way for historic and innovative reforms that allow their communities to cast their ballot in ways that work for them.

Thanks to the work of student debt advocates, many of them in the Alliance for Youth Action network, the Biden Administration delivered on their campaign promise to cancel federal student loan debt. Now applications for student debt relief are officially open!

The youth vote will be essential to winning the midterms, so the Alliance team is hitting the road to do on-the-ground get-out-the-vote (GOTV) organizing with the Alliance Network! For the last two weeks of October, Alliance staff members are traveling across the country to nine Alliance Network organizations  to help turn out the youth vote in their states.

More than 8 million young people have turned 18 since the 2020 election. Imagine a world where every single one of them cast their ballot in the 2022 midterm elections.
