Next Up Action Fund

Next Up Action Fund We're the launch pad to help you take action! ✊🏽 At Next Up Action Fund, we envision a future where youth like you boldly lead forward.

It’s a place where our democracy is inclusive and accessible, and our communities are strong and resilient. If we amplify young people’s voices toward collective action, shift power, broaden the leadership pipeline, and address the structural barriers that our generations are navigating, we’ll build a more inclusive movement for a just democracy. You can sign up to volunteer or find out more about our programs here: https://nextuporegon.org/volunteer/

rip city, not ripoff! 🚫 🏀

the Moda Center is our house... literally. it’s owned by the City of Portland, which means WE should decide what to do with it. our recommendation? renovate Moda. keep the Blazers. make a deal, not a donation. 💯

🔗 head to the link in our bio to tell City Council what YOU think Portland should do with the Moda Center, or swipe for IRL pop-up events happening this weekend 🗓️

🗣️ get the facts about the Moda and what’s at stake for Portland!!
