Youth Action Hour #4
Show Us the Money
ABOUT
Starting on October 28th, join Youth Action Hour for Show Us the Money, a social media campaign featuring youth-led conversations around money, debt, wealth, resources, and policy recommendations to ensure young people achieve the economic justice we need.
A lack of economic opportunity is at the core of many underlying systemic barriers that young people and our communities face. As the generational wealth gap proves, Millennials and Gen Z are the first to be worse off than their parents economically. This is a critical moment to center economic justice so that our generation can thrive with living wages, student debt forgiveness, and robust local economies.
