Hey r/Politics! I am Andrew Juan, and I'm the Political Director for the Young Americans Coalition for Unity (YACU). Today I will be answering some of your questions with the help of the YACU's Reddit team by my side! The YACU is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging youth in politics and promoting bipartisanship and unity. We are the only nonpartisan and bipartisan youth organization dedicated to the mission that we have, meaning that we do not endorse candidates, policies, and parties, but we do strongly encourage all members to fully express their own opinions. Our organization has four volunteer teams: communications, digital, organizing, and political. Our volunteer structure reflects that of a political campaign in efforts to make our opportunities as realistic as possible.

With today's political climate, we find it increasingly important to help promote and foster bipartisan discussions to help get things done. We recognize the deep divisions and high tensions in our nation, which have only become more intense since the elections. It is vital that we promote and preserve a positive environment that encourages healthy and respectful dialogue, in line with our organization's mission as a whole.

Check us out on our Twitter, Instagram, and in our National Discord server, and since you're already on Reddit, be sure to join us at r/YACUHQ!
