"I had the luxury of distance and time to look at what was happening in my home country and feel... empowered to make a difference. It literally couldn't wait."
"We're heading into 2026 with a lot of optimism and fire."

Isaac James founded OutVote to mobilize Gen Z voters amid rising anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric during the 2024 election. Witnessing decreased youth voter turnout, he felt an urgent need to act. With a Rhodes Trust grant, he became the full-time executive director in August 2025. OutVote aims to foster a renewed culture of civic engagement, addressing the unique challenges faced by the post-marriage LGBTQ+ generation. The organization is optimistic about its impact heading into the 2026 elections.
