“Gen Z Poll Data Reveals Strong Demand for Criminal Justice Reform in 2024 Election”

The upcoming 2024 election is shaping up to be a pivotal moment for Gen Z voters, with new poll data from REFORM highlighting the strong demand for criminal justice reform among young adults. The survey of 1,000 Gen Z adults revealed that an overwhelming majority consider it important for elected officials to support reform efforts, with 70% believing it should be a priority for candidates running for office.

With 40 million Gen Z voters expected to participate in the election, candidates have a significant opportunity to win over this diverse and influential voting bloc by addressing their concerns around criminal justice reform. The data showed that a candidate advocating for modernizing the criminal justice system, particularly around probation and parole reforms, would be more likely to garner support from Gen Z voters.

In response to these findings, REFORM is launching the Future Shapers Network, an initiative aimed at boosting youth activism and voter engagement in key battleground states. Public figures like Lil Baby and CJ Stroud are throwing their support behind the effort, underscoring the importance of engaging young voters on critical issues like criminal justice reform.

As the election draws nearer, the pressure is mounting on both major candidates to address these concerns and sway undecided Gen Z voters. With the release of further details about the Future Shapers Network later this week, it remains to be seen how candidates will respond to the calls for reform from this influential voting bloc.
