Bread for America

Last Thursday, Dream for America was proud to host a reception with William He, Amy McGrath, Mike Schmuhl, & Rep. Cheri Bustos at the Mercury Public Affairs, LLC Public Affairs office in Chicago. Thank you to the 100+ who joined us for lunch and a conversation about our mission to spread liberal values on campus & build a liberal alternative to Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA! 🇺🇸

Gen-Z's first DNC is in the books: the Dream for America team was proud to present at the 'DemPalooza' Allied Groups Convention Expo & join thousands of fellow progressives to witness history at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago! As the youngest organization (we were founded just 1 year ago) with the youngest leader (our founder William He is just 17-years-old) at the DNC, our team manned a booth at McCormick Place and engaged in insightful conversations with thousands of curious visitors driving hundreds of volunteer signs ups. While we ran out of signs, stickers, and other merchandise several times, we were able to quickly restock thanks to our partners at Artist Proof Collective & Minuteman Press. Our team also hosted a lunch and reception with Amy McGrath, Mike Schmuhl, Rep. Cheri Bustos, & our CEO William He at the Mercury Public Affairs, LLC office in Chicago. Our event drew 100+ RSVP's and attendees & received attention in POLITICO Playbook. And live from the United Center, National Organizing Director Nathaniel Pelton joined Kenneth Harbaugh on MeidasTouch’s award-winning Burn the Boats podcast. William He joined Anthony Barkett and Michael Kristoff on Political Playlist and was the subject of a documentary by Deutsche Welle. Special shout out to Dream Team members Shaeleigh Severino, James Steinberger, Cristian Camberos, Lawrence McIntosh, Joshua Metters, Luika Rohy, & Tyler Ybarra for making this past week possible. Gen-Z is fired up and ready to go. Together, we will spread liberal values on campus & build a progressive alternative to Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA.

I’ve been watching Democratic conventions ever since I was 5 years old. Now 17, it’s been the honor of my life to be invited to the 2024 DNC and witness history on behalf of Dream for America. I am beyond proud of the Dream for America team (James Steinberger, Joshua Metters, Cristian Camberos, Luika Rohy, Lawrence McIntosh, & Shaeleigh Severino) and all the amazing programming and press coverage we secured throughout the week. As the youngest organization at the DNC (having been founded just 1 year ago), our team manned a booth at McCormick Place and had conversations with thousands of curious visitors. Thanks to our partners at Artist Proof Collective & Minuteman Press, we were able to restock our booth with thousands of signs, stickers, and other merchandise after running out several times.

And live from the United Center, our National Organizing Director Nathaniel Pelton joined Kenneth Harbaugh on MeidasTouch's award-winning Burn the Boats podcast. I joined Anthony Barkett and Michael Kristoff on Political Playlist and was the subject of a documentary by Deutsche Welle. It was also a privilege to connect with Rep. Maxwell F., Harry Dunn, Kerry Kennedy, David Hogg, Rep. Andy Kim, Parker S., & countless other brilliant and awe-inspiring leaders from around the nation. Coming out of the DNC, I am more optimistic than ever before about the future of our country. WE’RE NOT GOING BACK! 🇺🇸

A teacher, veteran, and devoted public servant – Tim Walz has spent his life fighting for working families and future generations. If Tim Walz’s two-terms in the Governor Mansion are a testament to his character and leadership, just imagine what he could do with two-terms in the White House. Today, we're proud to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for President & Vice President of the United States.

Political violence is disgusting & absolutely unacceptable – and it has NO place in America, period. We pray for the safety and well-being of former President Trump, his family, and all the rally-goers in Butler, Pennsylvania. Thank you to the Secret Service & law enforcement agencies for their swift and brave response. No matter our differences, at the end of the day -- all of us are Americans.
