Introducing LOUD For Tomorrow, Our Newest Grassroots Group in Kern County
LOUD For Tomorrow (LFT)/ LOUD For Tomorrow Action Fund (LFTAF)
is both a (501)(c)(3) and (501)(c)(4) grassroots youth-led organization based in Kern County, which comprises 66% of CD 22’s registered voters. Founded in 2018, LOUD’s mission is to build youth power to transform local schools and communities through civic engagement, advocacy, and healing justice. LFT is also focused on changing the entire power structure in the Central Valley.
Focusing on youth between 16-25 years old, LFT organizes young people to register peers and win campaigns for a brighter tomorrow! LFT is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives and engages in phone banking, texting, canvassing, and voter activation events; focusing on first-time voters and low-propensity Latinx voters. Their 2024 goals are: to register 3500+ young voters, run three voter education campaigns, contact 35,000 voters in Tulare and Kern Counties, recruit and train 45+ paid and volunteer voter organizers, mail 35,000 voter guides to priority voter blocks and organize 10+ community events to build trust and relationships with voters.
