As the Coalition Director at YouthInGov, Aliza Lifshitz plays a pivotal role in amplifying the voices of young people in the political arena. With a deep commitment to strengthening democracy, Aliza coordinates logistics and mobilization efforts for a coalition of over 80 youth-centered organizations dedicated to advocating for increased representation in the federal government. Her expertise in progressive political organizing and issue-based advocacy allows her to effectively lead working groups focused on Legislative Advocacy, Communications, and Expanding Youth Representation in Government.
Under her leadership, these groups develop strategic initiatives aimed at making government more accessible to Gen Z, ensuring that their unique perspectives and needs are reflected in policy-making processes. Aliza’s proficiency in data analysis and policy writing enables her to craft compelling narratives that resonate with both policymakers and the broader public, while her skills in community development and coalition building foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
Aliza is particularly passionate about empowering young leaders to take their seats at the table, believing that their engagement is crucial for a vibrant democracy. She actively seeks to connect with fellow Barnard alumni in the DC area who share her commitment to social change and youth empowerment. Through her work at YouthInGov, Aliza is not only shaping the future of youth representation in government but also inspiring a new generation of advocates to champion the causes they believe in.
