There is a disturbing issue with today's youth, and it goes much further then apathy. The youth of today's age is being put down by the adults who do not feel that the youth is old enough to voice their opinions on how they feel that they want their community, state, or even nation to run.
As an 18 year old, and being involved in politics for the past 3 years of my life, I know the hard road ahead in standing up for what you believe in.

I created a club that allows students who love to engage themselves and others in debates concerning political issues. This club also allows students to travel to conventions where they can debate students from all over California. This club hones speech and debate skills and encourages political awareness among teenagers.

Massachusetts Power Shift is a world-changing event.
Thousands of citizens from across Massachusetts are coming to Boston to demand action from their elected representatives. Citizens will engage in a weekend full of activities, including workshops on climate organizing, a presentation on how to bring Green Jobs to your communities, community break-out strategy sessions, interest-group break-out strategy sessions and Soul Purpose Live: an afternoon rally complete with music, activism, and leadership.

The organization I am passionately dedicated to is Mobilize.org. Mobilize.org is an all-partisan network dedicated to educating, empowering, and energizing young people to increase our civic engagement and political participation. We operate through Mobilizer Teams who serve as our ground troops in the war against political apathy. These teams bring together local activists and leaders to help pave the highway to youth empowerment. One of the projects that I have worked on through my involvement with Mobilize.org is the Caesar Chavez 10th Grade Community Action Project.
