What we’re about
The GenZ FrenZ mission is to encourage 18-29-year-olds to stay abreast of key issues and provide grassroots opportunities to effect change in local politics. We do this through promoting webinars, forums, rallies, fundraisers, meet and greets, municipal meetings, town halls, debates, voter registration drives, text and phone banks, and door-to-door canvassing (with a buddy of course). We may be based out of Bridgewater, NJ, but we are receptive to any grassroots movement that needs a little Gen-Zing!
GenZ is officially the LARGEST voting bloc of all generations to date totaling 41,000,000 eligible voters in 2024 and growing every year. This figure includes 8,000,000 NEW eligible GenZ voters since 2022, which is about the same number of votes Biden beat Trump by in 2020. Talk about GenZ's POWER TO INFLUENCE the 2024 election!
GenZ is the most highly educated and diverse generation of all time and is also most impacted by the issues that our elected officials have been unable to resolve since before 9/11 (that's 2001 for those too young to remember) such as reproductive freedom, mental health care, economic opportunity, student loans, LGBTQ+ rights, social justice reform, common sense gun laws, women's equality (no we don't have that in the Constitution yet) E-T-C!
2024 is an CRITICAL election year and it's time for GenZ to rise up, get informed, and take a stand for what and who it believes is best for America's future. GenZ has the POWER to PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY by helping elect competent local, state, and federal officials -- or better yet run for office yourself!
GenZ FrenZ is a space where your opinion matters, your voice is heard, and your VOTE counts! PLEASE JOIN US (with a friend even better) and STAY INFORMED!!!
