About Me

80 Million Strong is a coalition built by and for young people.

Educated but unemployed, nearly 87 percent of the Millennial generation holds a high school diploma and nearly 30 percent holds a bachelor's degree or higher. It's still not enough. With tens of thousands of dollars in debt from student loans and credit cards, young people need jobs, yet in times like these the newly graduated are forced to compete with more experienced workers for even the most entry-level positions.

We need jobs now. That's why we are:

* Convening a summit of young people in Washington, DC to discuss this problem and propose solutions
* Developing federal legislation based on the summit's recommendations
* Building a grassroots coalition that truly reflects and empowers the Millennial generation
