2025 Federal Policy Agenda

Fed Policy 25 Web Banner

America’s economic future depends on empowering our next generation to succeed. As young adults face unprecedented challenges in today’s economy, Young Invincibles has developed a practical, solutions-oriented Federal Policy Agenda focused on expanding opportunity and strengthening our nation’s competitive edge.

The upcoming transition in federal leadership signals significant changes ahead in national policy priorities. As we look to 2025 and beyond, Young Invincibles remains steadfastly committed to advancing economic opportunities for young adults across healthcare, education, workforce development, and financial security.

Our focus continues to be protecting and building upon the progress we’ve made: we expect to spend the next few years working to protect our hard fought victories to expand health coverage, offer student debt relief, and build a better tax system for young people. We will push for more wherever we can. Many of our ideas have a broad appeal and we aim to bring in even more supporters. Some goals are longer term and we will keep working towards them.

What young people need and deserve does not change just because the occupant of the White House does. YI will always fight for young people and we intend to spend the next two years finding whatever ways – big or small – that we can make progress.

This agenda is grounded in rigorous research, extensive community engagement, and a deep understanding of the policy landscape. We propose concrete legislative actions, regulatory reforms, and grassroots mobilization strategies to effect real change. From expanding the Affordable Care Act’s premium subsidies to championing a federal-state partnership for tuition-free public higher education, and from reforming SNAP eligibility for students to advocating for a raised federal minimum wage, our proposals are both ambitious and achievable.

Young Invincibles is committed to building a broad coalition of stakeholders – including policymakers, educators, industry leaders, and most importantly, young adults themselves – to turn these proposals into reality. Together, we can create a more equitable, prosperous, and secure future for the next generation.

We could not have created this agenda without the feedback and support of our National Youth Advisory Board and our regional Youth Advisory Boards. We thank each member of these boards for their invaluable insight and assistance.
