What is Run for Something Action Fund?
Run for Something Action Fund (RFS AF) is a 501(c)4 that supports millennial and gen-z involvement in local government through outreach, education, and research. RFS AF is committed to building the next generation of civic-minded, passionate, voters and ensuring that young people are engaged and informed about the democratic process.
Why do we think this project is important?
RFS AF’s work includes a multi-year program to recruit and support thousands of local leaders to participate in election administration to safeguard American democracy.
