Proposition 77 Watch: What Are Your Boundaries? Mobilizing America’s Youth

Mobilizing America’s Youth (MAY) is an all-partisan network dedicated to educating, empowering, and energizing young people to increase our civic engagement and political participation.

The element that sets MAY apart from many similar organizations across the country is that we aim to EMPOWER youth to advocate on behalf of their passions and to become the change they would like to see in their communities. This element of political involvement goes one step beyond just registering and voting, but it gives youth a reason to vote and a sense of why it is important to be involved. By learning about how issues affecting their lives can be influenced by public policy, then getting out there and voicing their opinions, America’s youth will be increasingly engaged for years to come.

On Monday, October 24, MAY and Mobilize.org are launching their “What Are YOUR Boundaries?” RV Tour in support of Proposition 77, the California Redistricting Initiative.

The Mobilize.org RV Tour has one major purpose and one major goal. The purpose is to educate, empower, and energize young people throughout the state for the upcoming special election, and our goal is to pass the Voter Empowerment Act – Proposition 77. The RV tour is historic and the first of its kind as no other independent organization has hosted such an event exclusively devoted to a single proposition.

Mobilize.org believes that redistricting is the best way to end the political deadlock in California. We have built a strong coalition of support to help us get that message to America’s youth.

Mobilize.org’s blog is located here.

The official kick-off will consist of an editorial board conference call with college newspapers throughout the state on Monday, September 24th at 3 PM.

Stay tuned for more about this youth/college oriented RV tour in support of Proposition 77.
