Demand the Future


Our opportunities are drying up and our democracy is increasingly controlled by a tiny few. At this moment, we have a choice: we can save our future or sit by as it's squandered by those in power.

From Wisconsin to Keystone XL, from Occupiers to Dreamers, we have already started to stand up.

Like our friends in Chile, Mexico and Canada before us, students across the US are fighting for change. This summer, we will converge in Columbus, Ohio to plan the next stage of the movement.


Now is the time for an American student movement.

Generations of young people before of us have led transformational movements that altered the course of American history.

The civil rights movement, free speech movement, women’s rights movement, and many other movements began before our time but left a lasting legacy. Many of these struggles continue today, but now it’s our turn to fight.
