Pro-Freedom. Pro-Democracy.
We're taking on Turning Point USA.
Dream for America is a Gen Z-led 501(c)4 non-profit founded in 2023 by William He focused on identifying, educating, and mobilizing America’s students to promote the principles of freedom, democracy, & progressive government. We’re building the most organized, active, and powerful pro-democracy grassroots network both online and on-campuses across the country to engage young Americans of all backgrounds at all times — not just on the eve of an election. Together, we’ll mobilize a new generation of democracy defenders because we are the leading progressive alternative to far-right youth groups like Turning Point USA.
The 3 C's of Dream for America
Chapters
Dream for America is dedicated to supporting students on campus across America through innovative youth-tailored marketing, distributing educational literature, hosting on-campus events with local leaders, & counter countering TPUSA-sponsored far-right student government candidates by distributing “Democracy Grants” for pro-democracy candidates to cover campaign expenses and engage their peers in campus civic engagement. We also play offense with a sense of urgency to go to the places where progressives are in the ideological and philosophical minority. We’ll extend our outreach through chapters and training sessions across the country beyond deep-blue college campuses into trade schools, places of faith, working-class communities, suburban, and rural America.

Creators
By employing creative branding, “memes”, and relevant pop-culture into day-to-day marketing and organizing activities, Dream for America constantly reaches new demographics and expands our base of supporters young and old. We combine culture and politics to combat Turning Point’s content creating army of agitators and engage young people in meaningful, educational, and effective ways. Our diverse community of organizers don’t just create innovative content, but also pursue values-based candidate endorsements & public policy advocacy utilizing our Gen-Z Bill of Rights — which is THE most comprehensive & visionary policy platform put forward by any Gen-Z organization.
Gen-Z's Blueprint for America
Conferences
We hope to build a reputation of being the premier brand in events for young progressive activists across the country. We aim to hold a series of regional summits and national conferences to attract young progressive students from across the country. Each conference will feature the top thought leaders in the progressive movement, as well as provide resourceful break-out training and networking sessions for attendees. We believe it’s not only important to expose young people to tremendously intellectual and inspiring speakers – as well as provide students with the tools and connections they need to effectively battle radical right-wing extremism.

The Gen-Z Bill of Rights
Gen-Z knows what our priorities are. We’re everyday Americans who want opportunities for ourselves and security for our families. We want safe communities and decent educations. We want good healthcare that doesn’t force us to go broke when we get sick. We want our voices to be heard in a system ruled by special interests fighting to erode our democracy. We want to know that somebody is listening to us and fighting for our future. Gen-Z believes a better world is possible — but only if Gen-Z has a hand in shaping it.
