we the students nyc
As our flagship city, WTS NYC includes over 30 schools and 500 students. We organize one walkout for democracy and against fear each school year, host dozens of community building events, participate in No Kings protests by planning and hosting youth rallies, and facilitate civic education/learning at our school clubs. There are always opportunities for NYC students to join us in building a greater citywide political youth movement. Join us today!
mission Statment
We are a nonpartisan national coalition of politically engaged students dedicated to upholding the principles of the United States Constitution. Guided by the freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment, we use peaceful protest, civic education, and lobbying to advocate for the rights, futures, and voices of young Americans. Free from the support of any political party, we are united in our fight against unconstitutional policy, law, and action. We, the students, will fight for the country we will inherit.
When our rights, futures, and communities are under attack, we will be heard.
what we do
United by our cause, cities across the country will open We The Students chapters, where members will learn about what it takes to do their part in creating a society with a civically engaged youth. These city chapters will emerge in the form of school clubs, where students will be taught about their power and how to responsibly exert it. From there, these school chapters will periodically unite to host city, state, or nationwide events in support of a specific cause. Many areas will likely be unable to organize the necessary numbers to mobilize properly; these areas will form smaller, more tightly knit groups, which will lobby (conduct research, organize with representatives, and deliver letters) to further We The Students' cause.
