https://lnkd.in/gHk_A-mU Today's unanimous Supreme Court decision, two years after the overturning of Roe. v Wade, upholds access to the abortion pill. It comes as a relief none of us took for granted in today’s climate. The battle for bodily autonomy continues, and we’ll see young people’s voices louder than ever this November.
We're thrilled to share that Deja Foxx, founder of GenZ Girl Gang, is the keynote speaker at our #IGNITEtheVote Summit in Las Vegas! At just 19, Deja worked for Kamala Harris and became one of the youngest presidential campaign staffers in history. Plus, she's the recipient of Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Catalyst of Change award, the Global Citizen Prize, and Gloria Steinem's Ms. Foundation for Women's 'Free to Be You and Me' Woman of Vision award for her advocacy work. There's still time to register to hear from Deja and the rest of our spectacular speakers: https://heyor.ca/gUOG1z

As 41 MILLION Gen Zers become eligible to vote this year, IGNITE launched a research initiative to understand their perception of the politics landscape. We asked them about party affiliations, voter engagement, and what values and concerns they had as the upcoming generation. After compiling the data, the results are clear- Gen Z is passionate, motivated, and want more from their representatives and government. They want to be seen and heard, and they need us to give them the space to cross political borders. To read the full report head over to- https://lnkd.in/gF_tQfW7.
Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏾 Even thought the Emancipation Proclamation was officially issued in 1863, it wasn't until June 19, 1865 that the last slaves were liberated in the US and slavery truly ended. And while Juneteenth was only recently declared a federal holiday in 2021, it has been long celebrated and recognized as a key milestone in US history. The significance of this day- the values of freedom and civil rights it stands for- are still an issue for the marginalized groups that need our voices and support to protect their rights 2024. Advocating for those who can't advocate for themselves is part of why we should all be voting this election year. Build the movement for a brighter future and vote for better civil protections this November!
