(HuffPost) Organize New York, a new, nonpartisan initiative created by a liberal group, plans to spend $9 million registering and mobilizing young voters in New York ahead of federal elections in 2024 in which the Empire State stands to play a major role.
Although the organizing drive is nonpartisan and will not involve campaigning for specific candidates or parties, the Democratic group End Citizens United is funding and running the initiative through its advocacy arm, the End Citizens United/Let America Vote Action Fund. Polling data consistently shows that the youngest voters in the country generally lean liberal in their views, but do not vote in high numbers.
“Young voters are frustrated with a system that they feel is broken and not listening to them and leaving them behind,” said Tiffany Mueller, president of End Citizens United Action Fund. “And the way that we’re going to change that system is by making sure that they are participating in our democracy and see their power in doing so.”
