"Gen Z is known for channeling personal passions into social and environmental causes, holding a high standard for taking care of our people and the earth. 

"Young people are not devoting themselves to specific politicians or parties, opting to rally behind issues directly impacting their lives and futures. With voters aged 18-34 constituting nearly one-fifth of the American electorate, they’re already shaping the future of the nation’s democracy. The issues they support—chief among them, climate change—reflect a priority to protect the civil liberties and world they’re inheriting." - Mahlet Sugebo
