I think the reason why Generation Z is so engaged in politics right now is ’cause they understand that our world is at a turning point. They understand that this is an incredibly important time to take action. Voters of Tomorrow Virginia is an organization dedicated to empowering the voices of young people in the United States government.
Our key initiatives have included voter preregistration, drives, lobbying elected officials, and proposing legislation at state and national levels. I’ve helped grow the chapter to about 250 youth volunteers, and I’ve been especially proud of our efforts to pre-register young people across the commonwealth.
It’s incredibly important to get young people politically active on the issues that matter to them. I’ve helped train fellow members of Voters of Tomorrow Virginia to build bridges and discuss policy with elected officials. We’ve helped draft and lobby a series of bills to which four of them have passed in the Virginia House and Senate. With the work that I’ve done at Voters of Tomorrow Virginia, I’m incredibly optimistic and hopeful in seeing young people fight for causes they believe in. Our movement will continue to inspire Generation Z to participate in our democracy.
