Fighting for Our Future: A Series of Case Studies
With inaction from federal and state leaders, young people are mobilizing to find and implement solutions to the issues that impact our generation. Gunfire is one of the top killers of young people in the United States, and young people understand that to end the gun violence epidemic, solutions must be placed in context with the criminal justice system and policing practices. -

In other words, young people are facing a representation gap of 28 percent in state legislatures.
