Young Voters
Young voters are passionate about the issues that impact them. That’s why they’re at the forefront of our community-based activism. Research suggests that Gen Z is the most likely generation to boycott a product, company, country, or state because of an ethical stance; only one in five Gen Z-ers would work for a company that doesn’t share their values, and 70% of Gen Z-ers are involved in at least one social or political cause.
