YOUTH AREN'T JUST THE FUTURE.
WE'RE THE RIGHT NOW.
Shake The Future Up is for young people and by young people. Our initiative motivates California youth to take charge of their futures by turning out to vote in record numbers because when we come together, we are a force. Rooted in community, culture, and the power of youth voices, this campaign turns civic participation into a movement of identity, action, and collective liberation.
California is home to nearly 1.2 million young people who are NOT registered to vote.
That’s over a million vital voices missing from our democracy. In Sacramento County alone, we have 200,000 unregistered young adults. We’re going to change that. Shake The Future Up is all about empowering Sacramento’s youth. We’ll meet you where you are—on campuses, in neighborhoods, and through culture, art, and peer networks. Together, we’ll create a movement where voting isn’t just a right, but a celebration of our collective power. This is just the beginning. We hope to take this model statewide in the future, but Sacramento is where it starts—and we want to build it with you.
WHAT'S OUR PLAN?
Register and mobilize tens of thousands of unregistered and low-turnout youth voters
Center BIPOC, immigrant, non-college, and LGBTQ+ youth often left out of traditional civic outreach
Build a youth-powered coalition across California to co-lead this effort beyond the 2026 elections
