Young Invincibles began in the summer of 2009, out of the recognition that young people’s voices were not being heard in the debate over health care reform. A few friends wanted to change that. So we put up a one page website, asking young people to share their stories and believe in our generation’s capacity to stand up and make itself heard.
In a little more than a year, ‘YI’ went from a group run out of a law school cafeteria to a national organization, representing the interests of 18 to 34 year-olds and making sure that our perspective is heard wherever decisions about our collective future are being made. We do this through cutting-edge policy research and analysis, sharing the stories of young Americans, campaigns designed to educate, inform and mobilize our generation and advocacy intended to change the status quo.
