2026 Content Creator Fellowship - Lehigh Valley

Project 26 is the home for Pennsylvania youth who are ready to challenge the far-right's attack on our futures and build a Pennsylvania where Gen-Z can lead and thrive.

In 2025 alone, Trump has signed over 200 Executive Orders that have directly impacted millions of Americans and led to:

• The loss of basic human rights and the separation of families due to unjust ICE raids
• A massive increase in the wealth of the top 1% at the expense of basic healthcare and unbiased public media funding 
• An economy where tariffs and inflation is so high millions of people are working multiple jobs and still can't pay their bills 
• Widespread feelings of hopelessness and outrage amongst young voters

The outcome of Pennsylvania's 2026 elections will determine the balance of power in the House which will influence the make-up of Congress, as some of the most competitive congressional races will happen in our backyard. Which will allow us to create a congress that can hold the President accountable to representing the people, not billionaires .

In 2026, young Pennsylvanians will have the opportunity to elect a Governor, who will be instrumental in standing up to a government that has constantly overlooked the youth. At an estimated 793,555 registered voters across the state, Gen-Z has the power to determine the outcomes of these elections–but only if we get organized now.

Since 2023, P26 has built a team of strong youth advocates for Gen-Z, and has worked to create a community for us in politics, through peer-to-peer outreach ( —and we're building a scrappy and innovative team that will organize and inspire thousands of PA youth to vote in both the Primary and General Elections in 2026.
