Want to get money out of politics and make sure ASU works to protect our democracy? You can tell the admin how you feel and join our Youth Power Campaign @ https://t.co/Moxm9zlWGF @LetsUnpac
🚨 Un-PAC is hiring paid student organizers in AZ, MI, NC, PA, and WI! This is a hybrid position where students will learn and implement the skills to organize our campuses and communities so we can win a democracy that actually works for us. Apply at https://t.co/IUAEgt9KUF! 🚨
Young people made the difference this election. Its time for @ASU to pass the #youthpowerreforms to cancel class on Election Day & stop spending OUR tuition $ on lobbying. Preparing us for the future mean protecting our democracy!
Happy Halloween! While we love frights this spooky season, this one goes *too* far. We'll stick with the monster mash, rather than candidates who want to take away our rights + refuse to concede if they lose! https://t.co/XlWllXF2MK
thanks @SenMarkKelly @SenatorSinema for co-sponsoring the #DISCLOSEAct! young voters are glad to see you take a stand against dark $$ that corrupts our elections, and we urge you to get this bill across the finish line!
@LetsUnpac
psst: you can easily see how much your Senator gets from big pharma on websites like @OpenSecretsDC. a broken democracy isn't a hypothetical problem; it looks like diabetics rationing insulin because members of Congress won't stand up to their donors.
Politicians make it harder for us to vote because they know that if we were able to actually make our voices heard, they'd lose their jobs, their donors would lose profits, and most importantly, popular policies would ACTUALLY PASS.
We all know that big money in politics and restrictive voting laws means that our generation never sees urgency from institutions. That’s why we’re organizing with fellow Sundevils to ask ASU to get OUR tuition money out of a broken democracy and advocate for pro-voter laws!
Young people have the numbers + the power to make a real difference in elections. That means that politicians need to listen to our demands if they want to win our votes: action on the climate crisis, gun violence, and the cost of higher ed.
Today was the last day to submit signatures for the Arizona Fair Elections ballot initiative, and our @unpac_az organizers got THOUSANDS of people to sign the petition to protect democracy in Arizona!
Young people are BEGGING our reps to take action on climate change, but SCOTUS just ruled to limit the EPA’s ability to regulate carbon emissions. This is boon for fossil fuel executives that hurts literally everyone else who has a stake in a liveable climate (i.e. everyone).
Meet some of our amazing new organizers! These are the people who will be fixing our democracy at the state level so that our generation can see the changes WE need.
Dems are using the Dobbs decision to fundraise for their campaigns, which 1) is disgusting and 2) demonstrates a larger problem in our political system: money matters more to politicians than actually working to pass popular and urgent policies. We must get money out of politics.
In this moment, remember, there are two kinds of power in this world: organized people and organized money. We as young people may not have much money, but we CAN organize ourselves and our communities to fight for the futures WE need.
