Join Our Community
We have the power to shape what comes next.
Gen Z is the queerest and fastest-growing voting bloc in America, with nearly 30% identifying as LGBTQ+.
But we’ve also grown up navigating a pandemic, an uncertain economy, and institutions that too often leave us feeling unheard.
Many of us came of age with rights that earlier generations fought to secure — but those rights are now under attack or being rolled back.
In 2025 alone, more than 600 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in the U.S.
Turning out our community to vote can change the course of electoral politics in the United States. Our unique approach starts with relationships: LGBTQ+ young people serving as trusted messengers to help their peers navigate civic participation.
Building community for the future.
In 2026, OutVote Fellows are working across Iowa, Michigan, and North Carolina to bring civic education and leadership opportunities to LGBTQ+ young people.
