Most people believe that voters should pick their leaders, not the other way around.

Right now, people in power are trying to keep us from voting so they can control our elections and seize more power for themselves.

But we won’t let them decide our future or define what democracy looks like for our communities. From August to October, GenVote and our allies are kicking off our national election protection program with the first national youth-led Election Defense Movement School. From schools, places of faith, rural counties, and cities across the country, we’ll invite young people and community members of all ages to join the growing election defense movement, bringing a bold new generation of organizers into the fight for free, fair elections and a just democracy for all.
