What is OAG?

OAG is an online and on-the-ground community of you(th) that think, speak, and create for social justice.

The name, Our American Generation, is a recognition of the need to address the unique political, cultural, economic, and environmental injustices that exist in the United States. It is both a rejection and reclamation of the term American. Whether we like it or not, we were born here, and OAG is committed to address this space.

Who is OAG?

Any level of involvement makes you a part of OAG. You can write an article, post an event, start a research project, come to one of our monthly socials, or get more closely involved through one of our fellowships. It’s that simple. Why not join now?

You(th) can also help us out by distributing fliers & zines. If you are interested, get in touch!

Why is OAG?

OAG’s mission is to empower you(th) to explore social justice, and to bring youth and social justice organizations together into a broader movement.

OAG’s vision is an inclusive, resilient, and just community that has the potential to create social justice across this Land we currently call “America.”
