The latest youth turnout data is in. 2020 was a record-breaking success.

This was in part due to the work of youth organizations around the country that have invested in the year-round work of organizing and capacity building—including our nonpartisan New Voters Project.

This past #EarthDay, students planned more than 120 events as part of our 3rd annual Youth Earth Week

These events won our Youth Earth Week awards for engaging the most people, being creative, & advocating for tangible solutions to environmental problems

We’ve faced tons of environmental setbacks over the past few years. Biden has the opportunity in the final days of his first 100 days to put us on a path toward a cleaner, healthier future for our children and grandchildren. #RollbackTheRollbacks https://t.co/p5omsljKym
