While quarantine has happened, Generation Z has realized the power it holds. We hold the power of disrupting a trend or practice that fails to work for us. We are the future after all.<\/p>\n<p>We will not let someone make policies and laws that don\u2019t work for us. We need to call politicians out on their actual actions and lack of concern for us. When people repeatedly say, \u201cEvery Vote Counts,\u201d I say, \u201cEvery Voice Counts.\u201d No matter who&#8217;s in the office to represent us, it\u2019s essential for us to remind them that their job is to serve us.<\/p>\n<p>If one thinks about, the U.S. is riddled with issues negatively impacting our community. There is a high rate of homelessness with little to no efforts for affordable housing. We have seen drastic effects of climate change with little effort to curb the source of our planet\u2019s deterioration. Not to mention the systemic bias which plagues us even after America is considered the \u201cLand of the Free.\u201dTaking the initiative of trying to be the change I want to see in our country, there are seven goals I would like to achieve with <strong>Change For America<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Update and add requirements for police officer eligibility.<\/li>\n<li>End censorship and bias in mainstream media while also curbing the spread of false information.<\/li>\n<li>Get more funding allocated to U.S. agriculture and increase investments into fixing\/helping communities.<\/li>\n<li>End standardized testing, robot programming in curriculums, and censorship in learning.<\/li>\n<li>Help inmates turn their life around and enroll them in college for a potential job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-237902\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"626\" height=\"234\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1.png 626w, https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1-150x56.png 150w, https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1-400x150.png 400w, https:\/\/siliconeer.com\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture1-560x209.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Change For America<\/strong> is here to tell politicians to do their job on their six-figure salaries and remind people they have a voice! As a teen myself, I can\u2019t become a politician, but I do want to have an impact on a better future for us all. If my business gets the support it needs, we will be able to take the Gen-Z impact to the next level. We want to work with politicians and help them hear the changes we need to make communities like ours better.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer, I participated in a youth entrepreneurship program hosted by \u00a0<strong>Children\u2019s Aid New York City<\/strong> and <strong>Youthful Savings<\/strong>.
