MOVE Texas Civic Fund

About

In 2013, MOVE was founded by a small group of dedicated students at The University of Texas at San Antonio to increase participation in local elections and since then has gone statewide to become one of the most effective voter registration and engagement groups for young people in the state. MOVE Texas understands that young Texans are the future, and their work aims to ensure they vote like it by building power in underrepresented youth communities through civic engagement, leadership development, and issue advocacy. With 43% of Texans under the age of 30 and 63% of the state’s population being people of color, MOVE knows that the path to transformational change begins and ends with the political education of young people.

About the Host

The Alliance for Youth Organizing is advancing a new era of democracy that is locally led and publicly engaged. We envision a society where young voters come out to the polls in numbers that actually shape the public discourse, and electoral system that encourages rather than discourages all people to be active and engaged participants. We do this by building the capacity of and providing resources to our network of independent affiliate organizations as well as stronger oversight of and training for affiliate financial management.
