Take the Up to Us Pledge

Our generation faces immense challenges that require smart, long-term planning. Yet we spend over $1 billion a day paying the interest on our national debt. As the next generation of voters, we're giving elected officials a few reasons why we care about sustainable spending and tax legislation:

  • Income Inequality: For the middle class in America, incomes have barely budged since 1979, while the top 5th of income-earners have seen wages increase by 70%.
  • Climate Change: There's currently no room in the budget to account for the $1.9 trillion annual cost of climate change.
  • Infrastructure: As the national debt grows, the government spends more of its budget on interest, leaving less money for new roads, hospitals, and education
  • Healthcare: The U.S. spends nearly three times as much on healthcare, yet has the lowest life expectancy and highest suicide rates as other advanced nations.

By signing this pledge, I am joining the tens of thousands of my peers supporting a strong fiscal future. This is an important priority for America's next generation and I am urging you, our elected officials to take action.
