We want to help equip you with the information you need for your meetings with lawmakers, at events or even for one-on-one conversations with peers. On this page, you can learn more about Defend Our Future and to get involved as well as the issues we’re working on to build a brighter future.
The American Jobs Plan
All across the country, young people want good-paying jobs that will make a difference in the world. We want to help in the fight against climate change. We want to advance justice and make the world a more equitable place. We want to help create a world where everyone gets the clean drinking water and clean air they deserve.
That’s exactly why we’re excited about President Joe Biden’s American Jobs Plan. It’s an ambitious blueprint for a clean energy economy that fights climate change at the scale we need and makes major advances in environmental justice. And it creates millions of good jobs to make it all happen.
