Since 2007, The Washington Bus has been a leader in empowering young people to get civically engaged through voter mobilization, leadership development, and youth advocacy. After registering and mobilizing tens of thousands of voters over the last 19 years, this year was one of tremendous growth. We built young leaders across the state, deepened our base, and ran our largest electoral program yet, knocking on over 15,000 doors and calling over 39,000 young people.

We’re gathering to celebrate that work and to honor Cinthia, our outgoing executive director, whose tenure was marked by building youth political leaders and base-building power. All proceeds from this event will support our Transition Fund, helping us welcome new leadership and keep the Bus rolling strong into its next chapter. Our goal is to raise $300,000, and we have already secured $130,000!
