2020 has been a year of downs. At a life changing time like this TurnUp is a blessing. Right now our youth are coming together and advocating for our climate, for justice, for our lives and much more. TurnUp is crucial if we want to reach our activism potential. It has everything in one place. I feel completed now that I have TurnUp because with the app I have everything I need at my hand. Now I just have to click a button to RSVP to an event I’m passionate about instead of scouring the internet for information. I feel in the loop because TurnUp is constantly adding more and more events I can attend. I feel accepted because the users of the app are a community of people who all share the same beliefs. I know that as a teenager I sometimes feel underestimated due to my age. I feel less educated then adults and I feel belittled sometimes because somehow the older you are the more you know. TurnUp is one step closer to ending the stigma behind age. Everyone can benefit from this app because all the info is in ONE PLACE!! Truly a life changing app for a life changing year

Turnup is the perfect app for anyone who wants to get involved in activism but doesn’t know where to start! It offers access to helpful resources in a wide range of topics, including registering to vote, campaigning and running for office, climate change, indigenous rights, racial justice, and youth organizing. It also has a feed of nearby events and allows you to filter these events by issue, event type (virtual or in person) and location! This makes it easy for me to learn about ways to address the social issues that matter most to me. In my home feed, I can quickly see what events my friends are participating in, and the format of the posts allows me to easily find the date, time, and location of every event.

This app is truly something that has been missing from the app space. We always get irritated and talk about how young people don’t get politically involved, but we never really have any resources that are streamlined to get them involved in the first place. TurnUp has shown up at the perfect time to get people involved! I always thought it was extremely difficult to find political events and organizations, and now it’s all in one place! You can also follow people and build connections, as well as read about different topics impacting our lives today. This is a great app to get young people excited and ready to get politically active and engaged!! I truly think this app is a game changer.

For the past couple years now, there have have been more and more youth activists. Whether they are political activists, environmental, human rights, Black Lives Matter, etc... However there hasn’t been an app I found that is catered toward teens who are activists in their community. TurnUp is designed like a social media outlet that’s all about whatever category of activism you support. There are also many other youth on the app, that also do the support that same causes you support. It’s nice to see a huge community of individuals that are pushing for a change! All in all, it’s a amazing app.
