NextGen America Statement on President Biden Announcing His Re-Election Campaign

In response to President Biden announcing his 2024 presidential campaign, NextGen America President Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez released the following statement:

“Throughout his time in office, President Biden and his administration have been fierce advocates for young voters. From climate action, gun safety, student debt relief, LGBTQ+ rights, marijuana reform, and building an economy for everyone that taxes the rich their fair share, he is listening to our movement and delivering real policy solutions across the most important issues of our generation.

“Over the past decade, NextGen has built the largest youth movement in the country. This work, along with the efforts of our partners, has led young voters to turnout in record numbers the past two cycles. It’s clear that young people are a force to be reckoned with and that we’re setting the priorities for our leaders at both the state and federal level. As we turn to 2024, we look forward to continuing our work with President Biden and his administration and growing on our efforts to build a government that respects us, reflects us, and represents us.”
