CALLING ALL BUS YOUTH!

As part of our YEAH program, we're calling Washington State youth to submit their opinion on our endorsement decisions! You can access the ballot at bit(dot)ly/YEAH-ballot and take a look at our voter guide at bit(dot)ly/23BusVoterGuide

The deadline is in 3 days, September 10th. So take some time out of your day today to make sure your voice is heard!

ICYMI: This Throwback Thursday we wanted to boast

ICYMI: This Throwback Thursday we wanted to boast about a silly little conference we attended early this month alongside dozens of youth-led and youth-focused political organizations with the Alliance for Youth Action at Alliance X!

Bringing nearly 200 youth organizers together, Alliance X was a celebration of the Alliance Network successfully building youth power for the last 10 years, and an opportunity to learn from one another as well as civic engagement and organizational health experts from across the country. Youth organizers (at the Bus and beyond) left the conference with deepened relationships in the Alliance Network and renewed energy to build youth power in their states.

If there's anything that we took away from this convening of youth political power, it's that there's nobody out there who's going to save us but ourselves—and it's more important than ever to build community and build coalitions across state lines with other aligned organizers to build youth power and secure a better future. A better world won't be possible without our youth.

Tai Yang-Abreu (she/her) joins the Bus as the Youth Organizing Manager after seven years of campaign organizing; she's just as comfortable on the doorstep as in statewide strategy sessions. Tracing her political roots to her college days in student government, she credits the Bus with guiding her early days in political advocacy. Now, she oversees the Summer Fellowship program, campus outreach, and youth voter mobilization, ensuring the future is in good hands.

As an immigrant, queer woman of color, Tai jokes she represents more intersections than Seattle’s busiest junction. Away from the hustle, she's likely found enjoying downtime with her wife and dog in their West Seattle home.
