99Rootz 99Rootz is a youth organizing program in the Central Valley working to build an unapologetic youth movement lead by young people for young people.

99Rootz is a youth program that's by young people and for young people in Central Valley rural communities connected by the 99 highway. We believe that we can change our communities using transformative strategies that are rooted in the issues we care about! Hit us up if you're interested in building an unapologetic youth-led movement that centers organizing, art, culture, and healing

Opportunities to get involved in any of these free and (sometimes we pay you!) programs in the Central Valley:

- Weekly high school youth leadership meetings in high schools in Merced and rural Fresno county
- High school and college youth voter registration drives year round
- Spring elections campaigns (jobs! No experience needed)
- Summer organizing and leadership programs in Merced, CA and Sanger, CA
- Statewide and regional youth trainings and conference opportunities year-round! Physical offices are located in Merced, at

we deserve wage equality and transparency in California❗
We’re proud to help sponsor this bill and are committed to fight to make sure corporations can’t buy their way out of the law 🚫 We’re pushing for SB1237 to be signed by the governor

We’re proud to have helped pass AB2624! Those standing up for our communities, should NEVER have to stand alone 💪

We will continue to work for change that offers aid to working families ✨

We won’t be fooled - and this shouldn’t be downplayed!!! We’re still suspicious.

Powerful day at the CA Public Utilities Commission in San Francisco today ✊🏽 Our youth made it loud and clear that we deserve relief... NOT more rate hikes 😵‍💫

Working families should be able to keep the lights on without burning thru our paychecks for corporate profits 😤

We ain't done with you until our demands are met -- CPUC, PG&E & SoCal Edison 🫵🏽
