Our Impact in the 2020 Elections


The Big Picture
In the midst of a pandemic that continues to claim lives and livelihoods, despite every effort to keep us from voting and election officials from counting, through every legal challenge and anti-democratic maneuver, we persevered.
Moreover, young people emerged with a renewed sense of our power and purpose.
We came together as voters in record numbers to deliver a democracy where everyone counts, no exceptions.

The Big Picture
We make direct investments in student leaders in key elections who create and mobilize a base of student volunteers to expand a campaign’s field efforts through canvassing, phone banking, and other needs as identified by the campaign.
In the Spring of 2020, Blue Future invested over $35,000 into the power and ambition of young people.

The Details
The #COVID19 pandemic won’t stop young people from organizing for a better future.
This Spring, our Congressional Youth Power Fund Fellows showed remarkable resilience, adapting their work through ever changing circumstances to continue to make a difference.
When we trust young people and provide them with the necessary resources, they can make groundbreaking changes.
