John,
I am incredibly excited to share that after embarking on a year-long process, Alliance staff, Board members, and executive directors in our network have crafted a five-year strategy that will guide the next phase of the Alliance. Download a copy of our new strategic plan [[link removed]] to get a full view into the next five years of strengthening the Alliance Network.

For the next five years, we will prioritize deep network capacity building, embrace our identity as a funding intermediary, and expand the network. As a part of network expansion, we will center and support the growth and development of emerging Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) leaders who are spearheading youth-led civic engagement organizations that have historically been and continue to be systemically under-resourced .

This strategic plan re-envisions how we fuel the growth and sustainability of year-round grassroots organizing and local power building led by the youth organizations in the Alliance Network. But the why remains the same - to create a world where our democracy works for everyone and where all people – no matter where they come from, what they look like, or how they identify – live in loving, safe, and thriving communities.

Centering Storytelling
In 2022, we will center more stories from BIPOC youth in our Network who are on the ground organizing and building youth power in their communities. Stay up to date with all things youth organizing by following us on Facebook [[link removed]] , Instagram [[link removed]] , and Twitter [[link removed]] .

The entire Alliance team is so grateful to have you along with us on this journey to grow progressive people power across the country and supporting grassroots youth-led organizing along the way. We know that by investing in powerful young leaders and strengthening the capacity of their organizations, we’re changing our communities for the better and building a bench with the most diverse and progressive leadership our country has ever seen.

Here’s to more growth in 2022 and beyond!

Dakota Hall
Executive Director
