MOVE Texas plans to amplify its impact in 2025 through organizing, member-led issue education, and leadership development, empowering young Texans to engage in the democratic process. With the 89th Texas Legislative session underway, we are rolling out our "Get Sh*t Done" Agenda to guide our work around key issues like climate, reproductive rights, and democracy. Our evergreen civic engagement efforts will focus on voter registration and municipal elections, and we will be working to expand
We will operate 25 campus chapters focused on civic engagement and issue advocacy, register 13,000 new voters, expand polling access (campus polling locations, countywide polling), launch voting rights, climate, and gender justice issue campaigns to engage young issues-first voters, and operate leadership development programs to grow capacity for youth-led organizing and power building. Up until the election, we will follow up with registered voters to ensure that they are informed and prepared to vote.
MOVE Texas is a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to building the power of young people in underrepresented communities through civic engagement, leadership development, and issue education. Young Texans possess the appetite and the energy to make their voices heard in the decisions and processes that impact their lives and communities, positioning them to make waves in Texas and beyond. We invest in and engage young people to become agents of change who harness their power to engage their peers in the democratic process to champion progressive values. Through intentional coaching and support, we empower young people to build a responsive, accountable, and equitable democracy.
