My name is Saige Glazier
President and Founder of
WakeUpAndAct.org
At an early age, I realized that I am a justice seeker. I am unable to sit on the sideline and allow injustice or inequality to go unanswered. I have watched the political landscape change over the past 10 years and how division has emerged as the predominate sentiment of the day. I believe that my generation has to speak up if we want to have choices for our future. The world is changing fast and laws are being made for us- without us. Women's rights and our right to choose is under fire and this effects all of our lives. Please join us and take action so we can create a future that reflects the change we want to see.
I invite you to explore my blog to learn more about the topics we need to care about and the ways we can work toward meaningful change.
My name is Chase Glazier
Vice President and Co-Founder of
WakeUpAndAct.org
I am inspired by the social movements of the past and believe that meaningful change requires a unified and engaged community. WakeUpAndAct.org was created to highlight the issues that affect young people today and to provide a space to learn, connect, and take action in ways that promote safety, empowerment, and positive change.
Through collaboration with a team of entrepreneurial students at UC San Diego, I developed a deeper commitment to creating a supportive environment for teens facing mental health challenges that intensified during the pandemic. This remains one of the most urgent issues confronting our generation.
Teens deserve access to safe spaces where they can connect with one another and find the resources they need to heal and grow. I invite you to join us, get involved, and help build a community where every voice matters.
Our Story
As members of generation Z, we have grown up surrounded by political debates and issues affecting our generation. We have watched our communities, our country, and even the world struggle with issues such as abortion rights, post pandemic teen mental health, climate change, gun violence, human trafficking, and the dangers of fentanyl. These are some of the most pressing issues that are having a detrimental effect on our generation. As young adults, we are determined to not only be aware of these issues but to use our voice to make a difference.
We believe that our generation has the power and potential to be a significant force for change. We have the creativity, enthusiasm, and energy to bring attention to the issues that we care about in our communities and around the world. We are also the perfect demographic to get the word out about these issues since we are the most connected generation. We are proficient and know how to use social media and other forms of technology to spread awareness about the issues that affect us and inspire us to take action.
Our goal is to empower generation Z to become more informed and engaged with the issues that affect all of our lives. We want to lead by example and create a network of young people who are ready to take a stand and make a difference. We have already started on this path by creating WakeUpAndAct.org to increase awareness of the issues our generation faces. We are also partnering with other local and national organizations to make sure our voices are heard.
Through WakeUpAndAct.org, we plan to create events and activities to encourage our peers to become more involved in the issues that affect us. We want to provide young people with the resources and support to learn more about topics and how they can take action. We also want to build a strong network of teens who are ready to make a difference and open to constructive conversations about the issues that impact us.
By empowering gen Z’s, we hope to create a brighter future for all of us. It is our goal to make a positive impact on the world, one step at a time.
