ABOUT
YOUTH FOR COMMON SENSE

Youth for Common Sense is a family of organizations built on the principles of bipartisanship and depolarizing our country. Calder and David, our founders, met during the first week of high school and instantly began talking about politics. While Calder is a Democrat and David is a Republican, they both have one important thing in common: they both believe that bipartisanship and depolarizing our political climate are the most important principles for America to succeed.

​​

Through these crucial principles, they decided to found our sister organization in 2023, Youth for Common Sense PAC, a Political Action Committee dedicated to electing candidates seeking to reach across the aisle and create bipartisan change. However, they also understood the need to depolarize our generation, the future leaders, civil servants, and citizens who will end up leading this country. That's why we decided to found Youth for Common Sense Education Fund, to change our generation's tone towards politics. For too long we have trusted the adults in the room to try to unite our country. Sadly, they have chosen to partake in name-calling, badgering, and partisan grandstanding over real actionable change. They have inflamed the things that divide us instead of highlighting what brings us together. That ends now, with your help. Together we will bring the next generation, our generation, to be the one to bridge the political divide.
