Give Me A Platform

About this campaign

In city halls, state capitols, and the chambers of Congress, elected officials are making decisions about young women's bodies, lives, and futures without listening to our voices. Platform is here to change that. Platform is a new training and lobby group for, and by, young women dedicated to advancing progressive dialogue and policies.

Platform provides opportunities to amplify your voices and ideas, to break down and analyze policy issues, to develop advocacy skills, to engage with leaders in the political arena, to create a common agenda, and to lobby elected officials using that agenda. Our objective is to influence elected officials in their actions, stances, and votes by making clear that if they want our votes, they have to protect our rights.

As we do this, we, a new generation of feminist leaders, are showing the country that we are here to serve and ready to lead.

Together, we are building a community that does not claim to speak for women, but allows women to speak for themselves. A community that highlights and addresses the different experiences of all who identify as women, non-binary, transgender, and femme while celebrating the bonds of sisterhood.
