““This is lighting a fire in our generation,” said Anish Mohanty of the recent rulings. ”So many of these decisions made – not only by the court, but by conservative leaders – are attacking young people,” Mohanty said. “It’s an interesting move, considering we are about to become a growing force in the coming elections.””

“Mohanty said that Biden’s stance on issues like climate change is “appreciated by our generation,” but “are we supposed to tell other young people, especially if they are from marginalized communities, to vote for somebody who’s contributed to what’s going on in the Middle East?””
““It’s still just hard for young people to justify to themselves, morally, voting for someone after seeing these images, after seeing what’s been going on in the Middle East,” Anish Mohanty, the 22-year-old communications director of Gen-Z for Change, told ABC News.”

We trust Barbara Lee to deliver the change we demand and we are very excited to endorse her campaign for Senate.”

“Within our late-stage capitalist culture, the system thrives off our collective commitment to working as much possible—that it’s aspirational...As a generation, we understand that life isn’t about work and our value isn’t in our ability to produce labor.
