The mission

BABE VOTE empowers young people to organize their communities for democracy. We define pro-democracy organizing to be not exclusively related to electoral action but rather rooted in the ideas of fundamental human rights, social contract, and robust civil society which form the foundation for self-governance. We incubate pro-democracy youth social groups, build intentional, resilient pro-democracy communities, advocate for student voice and voting rights, and register young people to vote.

The focus

BABE VOTE empowers young people to organize their communities for democracy. We support and encourage young people to engage in their local, state, and federal governance. We advocate for voting rights, free and fair elections, student voice, and government accountability.

The Result

By registering and organizing record numbers of students across the country, we can take back our democracy and build a more just and equitable world. When our work is done, young people will have the societal power we are due. Our democracy will be resilient and well-functioning and will work for working people. All people will have a livable future.

BABE VOTE

They call us Gen Z, Millennials, Dreamers, Kids, Tech Babies. They think young people don’t care, that we are apathetic Netflix- binging, espresso drinkers, who spend our days watching Tik-Tok videos. They think we don’t care about policy or government. We’re just Instagram consumers who like avocado toast.

But we DO pay attention and we’re ready to demand an equitable future using our power and our vote. We are wiser and we are organized. We are voters now. We will organize, inform, and encourage students and people from historically disenfranchised communities to vote in every election from now on. We will achieve the change we are longing for in our leadership, economy and opportunity. We will use our collective power to change America—one election at a time.
