The next generation of voters is rising.

We’re motivated. We’re informed. We’re progressive. And we will soon become the largest group of eligible voters in the nation.

Young people overwhelmingly support progressive policies — from fighting climate change by transitioning to 100 percent clean energy, to providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, to preserving access to affordable health care.

NextGen Rising will educate young Americans on where candidates stand on these issues, connecting their everyday lives with the political process — and ultimately paving the way for progressive wins at the ballot box.

What’s next

We’ve hired field staff in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and California — and we’ll be expanding to Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada in the coming months. We’ll work on campuses and in communities to equip young people with the hard skills and winning strategies they need to be effective organizers in the age of Trump.

Ready to get involved?

We’ll send you updates on what we’re doing in the field, hiring announcements, and other opportunities to engage.

Sign up to volunteer with our texting program.
Field organizing will be the heart of our youth program, but we are committed to reaching young people wherever they are — especially on their phones.

Help us spread the word.
We’re excited about this — and we hope you are, too!

Thanks,

Ben Wessel

SHOCKING: Ten more elephants poisoned by poachers in Zimbabwe

This is beyond sickening, c. Greedy poachers are wiping these precious creatures off the face of the earth by the dozen.

​

Mass poisoning has become the poachers’ favorite tool to exterminate elephants and steal their ivory. Sometimes as many as ONE HUNDRED elephants are poisoned at once — left to die in agony before their tusks are hacked from their bodies.

This level of cruelty is simply unspeakable.
