Gen Z steps into politics with passion and purpose

That participation is already being felt. According to the United Way, about 50% of Gen Z say they have either attended or considered attending a protest or rally in the last year.

Generation Z is increasingly engaging in political activism, driven by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to address critical issues such as climate change, gun control, and social justice.

This generation's political involvement is characterized by a focus on direct action and a willingness to challenge the status quo, often using digital platforms to mobilize and amplify their voices.
