Since our founding as NextGen Climate in 2013, we've worked to fight climate change by supporting candidates who back climate action. With the values that drive our work on climate under attack from all directions, we're proud to step up the fight for immigrant rights, affordable health care, prosperity, and equality. We've registered more than one million young voters nationwide and ran the largest youth vote mobilization program in the country in 2018.
