SHOW UP FOR WHAT!?
WHAT ARE YOU SHOWING UP FOR
IN THE 2024 ELECTION?
When the pandemic hit, we showed up for our community by offering mutual aid. When we saw innocent lives taken at the hands of those working to protect us, we showed up in the streets. When we saw the humanitarian crises facing so many around the world, we showed up on our college campuses. And, despite what people may be saying in the media, we will show up for the 2024 election because we know that our common challenges are much bigger than just who sits in the Oval Office.

Criminal Justice and Maternal Health
Destiny, 21 - GA
“I grew up with both of my parents being felons, so they were never allowed to vote. It wasn't until I got to [college] that I really started to understand civic engagement and my stake in the world. It's important that we recognize the power of our votes.”
Mo, 21 - GA
"There's a lot of things on the ballot, like universal health care. Your right to have access to healthcare is very important. Not a lot of people who are being elected really talk about [it] and it's something that I think needs to be, especially for [those] who have invisible illness.”
Banned and Challenged Books
Ssanyu, 19 - NJ
“If you're a young person, you need to speak out and you need to emphasize the importance of having access to different perspectives. If you're a politician or somebody who has access to a space where you can significantly make change on this issue, please do speak up.”
Affordable Education
Annie, 22 - CA
“A lot of people aren't [pursuing] education anymore because of the expense of it. I think that candidates with a platform that focus on education, equity, and accessibility, are the ones that should be in these positions.”
