A likely future for the U.S. in the years 2020 and beyond is a country split between the aging baby boom still with substantial political, economic, and social power, and a young, fast-growing multi-cultural population with far less political and economic clout. Beyond the clear demographic trends, the starting points for this divide can be seen in the growing generation gap that can be measured in the attitudes and behavior of Americans today.

| Our mission at FLAME is to bridge the generation inequality gap and encourage students to become activists to improve society. We begin the eradication of generation inequality by providing Gen-Z students with resources to hold activism events in their communities and directly connect with their congressional representitves to catalyze change in their community. |
