Our Mission
The Youth Is Not Our Future, They Are Our NOW!
Young voters are often seen as a monolithic group, but they are a highly diverse generation whose identities and experiences influence their political views and participation. Of the 41 million Gen Z voters eligible in 2024, around 45% are young people of color, including 8.8 million Latinos, 5.7 million Black youth, 1.7 million Asian Americans, and 1.8 million multiracial youth.
Our mission is to empower and mobilize Generation Z voters in Utah. We are committed to fostering civic engagement through education, resources, and grassroots action to ensure that every voice is heard and every vote counts.
Follow Our Progress!
Our Vision for Utah
Democracy Means Equitable Representation
Only 10% of Utah’s population identifies as Black, Indigenous, People of Color; however, one in six youth identify as B.I.P.O.C. By centering youth leadership, we aim to build a more inclusive and representative democracy, where our diverse communities are actively shaping the future.
Youth voters help us impact Utah's political landscape. Join us at Ignite! Utah — because when we stand together, we inhibit real change.
