Voters of Tomorrow is a left-leaning advocacy organization that promotes political engagement and voting among Generation Z through online and on-campus efforts. The group was founded in 2019 by grassroots organizer Santiago Mayer, who was a 17-year-old high school student in California at the time. Mayer is an immigrant from Mexico.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Voters of Tomorrow has over 20 state-based chapters and volunteers in all 50 states.[7][8][9] According to news reports, the organization reached young voters over 8.4 million times in the 2022 U.S. elections.[10][9][11][12][13] The group has also participated in actions in response to book bans and Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.[14][15][16][17][18][19]

History

2022 election efforts

Voters of Tomorrow was "one of several youth voter groups that worked to boost turnout among 18-29-year-olds and may have saved the [2022] election for the Democrats," according to the Financial Times.[20][21][22] Various analyses of exit poll and voter file data determined that turnout among young voters in 2022 was the second highest for a midterm at least since the 1970s. In part, this helped Democrats outperform expectations and prevent an anticipated "red wave."[23][24][25][26][27]

During the cycle, the group reportedly contacted young voters over 8.4 million times by phone, by text, or in person. This included 6 million contacts in the weeks leading up to the general election and over 2 million during the U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia.[10][28][29][12][13][30] During the cycle, the group focused on Gen Z voters in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and California. It held in-person events on campuses including Georgia State University and the University of Texas at Austin.[10][9] In addition to its in-person voter outreach, Voters of Tomorrow organized a digital advertising operation that targeted young voters in key races with information on LGTBQ rights and abortion rights. The group reported a social media reach of more than 100 million in the weeks ahead of the election.[10]

Months before the 2022 elections, the U.S. Supreme Court released its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which effectively overturned landmark 1973 abortion-rights decision Roe v. Wade. In response to the Dobbs decision and related reports of proposals to restrict forms of contraception, Voters of Tomorrow launched a campaign to distribute contraceptives and raise voter awareness. Volunteers at college campuses in Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida handed out condoms with brochures about reproductive health and information on how to vote.[9][18][19] Later, it was widely reported that abortion was a major issue that secured Democratic wins in the 2022 elections.[31][32][33]

Voters of Tomorrow also reportedly funded efforts to help transport young voters to polling places that year. In Texas, after officials shut down the on-campus early voting location at Texas A&M University, Voters of Tomorrow and other groups organized two weeks of shuttle buses to transport students to vote at another polling place.[34][35][36][37] In another instance, during the the U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia, the group helped offer complimentary Uber vouchers to young people traveling to their polling place in all of Georgia's 159 counties.[28][38][39][40] Transportation has historically presented a significant obstacle to youth voting. According to a 2018 report from Tufts University's CIRCLE, nearly 3 in 10 Americans ages 18-29 cite a lack of transportation as a reason why they did not vote in the 2016 elections.[41]

During the 2022 election cycle, Voters of Tomorrow endorsed multiple candidates, including Democratic U.S. House candidate Maxwell Frost and Democratic Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro.[42][43][44] Frost, who became the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress, publicly noted that Voters of Tomorrow was among the first national organizations to support his political campaign, helping legitimize his efforts.[45]

2024 election efforts

In advance of the 2024 elections, Voters of Tomorrow has reportedly continued its efforts to engage young voters on college campuses.[12] The group also collected signatures from members of the U.S. House of Representatives on its "Youth Vote Champions' Pledge," which encourages candidates to engage with young voters early in the cycle. Dozens of House members — including Katie Porter, Elissa Slotkin, Dan Goldman, Maxwell Frost, and Mary Peltola — signed the pledge.[46][13]

During the ongoing 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries, Voters of Tomorrow initiated a trolling campaign to dissuade young voters from supporting candidates Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. The group purchased domain names associated with the two politicians that now redirect to websites containing the candidates' views. Voters of Tomorrow then reportedly placed digital advertisements in an attempt to increase traffic to the website among Instagram and Snapchat users in Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and other states.[7][47] The group predicted that Republican policies affecting young people will cause increased youth voter turnout in 2024.[12]

Activities

Lobbying efforts and confrontation with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

In 2022, Voters of Tomorrow published its "Gen Z Agenda," a legislative platform based on polling of college students nationwide. The platform contains policies including raising the minimum wage, abolishing the filibuster in Congress, protecting abortion rights, preventing gun violence, and combating climate change.[48][49][6] Voters of Tomorrow claims it lobbied The White House and over 100 Congressional offices on its "Gen Z Agenda" in 2022 and boasted its progress in certain areas.[50]

Following a lobbying session at the U.S. Capitol in September 2022, members of Voters of Tomorrow confronted Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene regarding gun control, one of the issues listed in the group's “Gen Z Agenda.” In a video posted on Greene’s Twitter account, Greene appears to kick Voters of Tomorrow’s deputy communications director Marianna Pecora, who was 18 years old at the time. Greene also allegedly made xenophobic comments towards Mayer, the group's founder. Greene's office disputed Voters of Tomorrow’s account of the incident and denied she kicked anyone.[5][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]

Leaders of Tomorrow Summits

Voters of Tomorrow hosted its first annual Leaders of Tomorrow Summit, a multi-day event focused on young voter engagement, in August 2022. The summit gathered over 100 activists, some as young as 13 years old, in Philadelphia.[45]

In July 2023, the group hosted its second summit at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. with approximately 275 attendees. According to news reports, speakers included former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre; Representatives Maxwell Frost, Summer Lee, Robert Garcia, and Jamaal Bowman; former Senator Doug Jones; and North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton.[2][48][60][61][4][62]

In May 2023, Voters of Tomorrow — in conjunction with Florida NAACP, UnidosUS, and other groups — filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Florida challenging the states' Senate Bill 7050.[63][64] Represented by Elias Law Group, the plaintiffs succeeded in petitioning for a preliminary injunction against the law's noncitizen voter registration ban and information retention provisions months later. The case is ongoing.[65][66] Members of Voters of Tomorrow have advocated against other proposed changes to Florida election law, including those related to restricting mail-in ballot access.[67][68][69]

Earlier that year, in February 2023, Voters of Tomorrow threatened legal action against Texas officials if the state legislature passed House Bill 2390, legislation that would ban polling places on college campuses. Carrie Isaac, the Republican state representative who introduced the bill, claimed the policy is necessary to ensure safety on campuses.[70][71][72]

Other advocacy campaigns

In response to a rise in book bans across the U.S., in 2022, Voters of Tomorrow distributed hundreds of copies of books challenged or banned in local school districts. The books included Beloved by Toni Morrison and Maus by Art Spiegelman.[14][15][16][17][49] During the book distributions, the group also encouraged high school students to register to vote.[73]

On November 17, 2022, during the Taylor Swift–Ticketmaster controversy, Voters of Tomorrow launched an antitrust campaign titled "S.W.I.F.T." (Swifties Working to Increase Fairness from Ticketmaster). The group intended to mobilize Gen Z to advocate for enhanced federal oversight that would prevent future entertainment monopolies, according to news organizations.[74][75] Relatedly, when 2024 Republican primary frontrunner Donald Trump reportedly insulted Swift, Voters of Tomorrow responded by writing in a statement: "By picking a fight with Taylor, you are picking a fight with young voters. And the last thing you need is an even worse reputation with us come November."[76][77]

Organizational structure

Voters of Tomorrow has chapters in 20 states and volunteers in all 50 states. The group is almost exclusively operated on a day-to-day basis by members of Gen Z, including Mayer, the group’s founder, who also serves as executive director.[1][4][8][12]

The organization receives guidance from a board of directors and an advisory board composed of political veterans. The board of directors includes Mayer, labor leader Randi Weingarten, former national security official Olivia Troye, and political strategist Rania Batrice; the advisory board includes gun violence prevention advocate Fred Guttenberg, public defender Eliza Orlins, academic Yohuru Williams, actress and singer Joely Fisher, and others.[1][78]
