Well I’ve got a checkmark now, so figured I’d re-introduce myself. I’m Santiago Mayer, I’m 23 years old and the Executive Director of @votersoftomorrow.org. I have spent the last 7 years working to turn out Gen Z and stop MAGA, and I’m not stopping now. Can you RT and follow to help reach others?

Since 2008, winning Dem candidates have received at least 60% support from young voters, but Harris did not meet that threshold, getting ~54% The blue wall states of MI, WI & PA saw the VPs margins drop significantly from President Biden’s commanding leads four years ago.

Unfortunately what happens after decades of getting outspent on youth engagement! The right spent $1.2B on youth last cycle, vs $136M on the left. We're working to fix it! But it's very, very tough.

How long do you have? For starters, we need to specifically raise PAC money to allow us to do partisan voter registration in a way that 501(c)3 dollars (which is most of the money in the left youth space) doesn't allow. We also need to take back the cultural narrative, which is hard and expensive.

Yes, and the right then spent 4 years plastering propaganda on young folks' faces with very little competition from the left ++ a big chunk of the drift came from new voters who the right has been targeting since they were in middle school.

Congratulations, but more importantly – thank you! Young people really need to get their heads in this game. They need to decide whether they want to live in a democracy or an autocracy. The time to decide is now, today. Their futures are at stake.

Santiago, did you finish college already? I know you must have. I remember you keeping dozens of balls in the air at the same time you were pushing yourself like crazy in school. I really worried about you. Tell me that now you only have your job to drive you crazy. 😜

Well Santiago, big chops to your effort. Note: When Beto ORourke ran against Tx Gov Abbott, only 21% of eligible young Txans bothered to even register. 21%. Oh, they all showed up at Beto's rallys, gathered on social media, got loud.. & then stayed home. Not even Uvaldi's dead kids motivated them

I'm 76 and work with tons of Gen Z folks & everyone I come in contact with. We need to join forces with the truth! #FailureIsNotAnOption bsky.app/profile/thec...

The law has been gutted. Corruption reigns unchecked. Fascism lurks, ready to bury the last breath of liberty. But this isn’t the end—it’s magic time as we rise. Those who believe in justice for all must awaken, armed with the truth in TheCleanNewDeal.org, and reclaim what’s slipping away.
