In recent years, Wisconsin topped the nation in youth voter participation during the November midterms. With over 8,000 DoSomething members in the Badger State, we are partnering with local organizations and public figures to energize rising changemakers in the area. This event series was created to engage Gen Z voters in Wisconsin and beyond. The stories collected during the week will contribute to the National Youth Agenda, outlining the issues Gen Z wants to see addressed by elected officials. With 41 million Gen Z voters eligible in 2024, the generation’s impact on the upcoming election could be historic.
