A Gen Z organization is enlisting people to flood anti-abortion websites following leak of draft opinion overturning Roe

Victoria Hammett was goofing off while watching a live stream of The Met Gala on Monday night when she saw the news.

Politico published a leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court would overturn the constitutional right to abortion enshrined in Roe v. Wade.

Within minutes, Hammett, 23, the deputy executive director for non-profit activist group Gen-Z For Change, was on a call planning how she and others could fight back. The group is made up of members from the Gen-Z generation, which Pew Research defines as anyone born after 1997.

“We were all texting each other immediately," Hammett said. "We set up a Zoom call ... and then immediately we hit the ground running figuring out what we could do to help."

Since it formed in 2020, Gen-Z For Change has been among a host of activist groups and movements led by young people to combat what they perceive as the stripping of their rights and protections.

In recent years, groups like March For Our Lives, which advocates for reforming gun laws, and The Sunrise Movement, which seeks to raise climate change awareness, have been led by Gen Z, also known as zoomers, to create the change that young progressives feel will create a better future. These organizations, which have strong social media presences, are more adept at wielding the internet in ways their older counterparts are typically less experienced in.

My children were watching an old video of a parade in my town decades ago; everyone was white. The town in more than 50% Hispanic now; those young people will notice if they ever see videos from the 1980s.

They should notice because the imported “replacement Americans” are now their competition for jobs.

They’re trying to manipulate the impression away from the fact that Gen Z is largely pro-life. They know one third of their generation was wiped out by abortion.

These Gen Z loudmouths are a tiny group of brainwashed zoomie mice who organize Goebbel’s cults on Reddit. They’ll post a pile of crap, and within two minutes, rack up 2.5 K likes. It’s bot BS heaven for these 50 IQ losers.
