Organizational Description:
Mobilize.org was founded in 2002 on the campus of UC Berkeley during CAL Lobby Day, a successful effort to organize for increased funding for student housing and a decrease in student fees. During that event, 150 young people met with their elected officials and discussed the challenges that students faced as tuition was set to increase again and there was a shortage of affordable student housing. This valuable and empowering exchange between young people and their elected officials resulted in a reversal of tuition increases, saving UC students nearly $100 million, protecting the University’s budget more than any other state-funded program. The largest victory, however, was passing the first ever bond for student housing in the amount of $15 million, which was matched by the University for a total of $30 million.
It was the passion and dedication of just a few young students that made this dream a reality and the immediate afterthought was: “If we can mobilize 150 students to Sacramento and make nearly $130 million in changes in one year, what could we do if a national movement was established?” The question arose, “Who is advocating for us?” With this question, Mobilize.org was formed.
Over the past seven years, Mobilize.org has grown from a campus effort with ten students to a national movement for the Millennial Generation with tens of thousands of Millennials in every state. The mission of Mobilize.org is to improve democracy by investing is Millennial-led solutions.
