Our democracy is best when everyone, regardless of who we are, where we are from, or how much money we make, has the opportunity to shape our policies.

However, certain politicians and special interest groups influence policies with their money. By fueling money into democracy they have a bigger say in the important decisions that govern our lives. We believe that we can do better.

As young people, the largest voting bloc in the U.S, we can make sure that communities of color, young voters, and new voters have a stronger voice in our government to push for policies that benefit all of us.

Let's make the change we want to see TOGETHER! 🤩

Today marks the beginning of the 2022 Busathon, and we need your help to reach our $5000 goal! Busathon gifts made today and tomorrow will support the Bus’s High School Internship Program. The program trains interns on public policy and state politics, grassroots organizing, and event planning, and will provide young, historically underrepresented students with a powerful toolkit that will support their organizing for years to come.

We are so excited to announce the 2022 Busathon! Although we have traditionally participated in GiveBIG around this time of year, we have decided to launch our very own two-day fundraising campaign from May 11-12.

We are working to raise $5000 for our internship program- this amount would pay for 5 internship stipends, as well as give opportunities to underrepresented young people to develop their organizing skills. Stay tuned to our emails to find out how to participate!

If you're still interested in giving to the Washington Bus Education Fund during the GiveBIG campaign (May 3-4), we encourage it! However, our main outreach focus will be toward our Busathon fundraising campaign from May 11-12.

Look out for more emails from us in the coming days to get involved in the 2022 Busathon!

I am so excited to join the Bus in this work and continue building a better future for underrepresented youth in Washington." 💗
