ABOUT US
The Youth Agenda
We are Gen Z in New Jersey. We have grown up in a state that has been flooding, burning, and, most importantly, failing to protect the people who live here. While billionaires profit, we are stuck with a disjointed system: broken transit, poisoned water, exploitative cost of rents, and heat waves and forest fires that kill. We cannot and will not wait for change — we’re building it. This is our mission. This is the future we’re fighting for.
