Olivia Julianna on Gen Z for Change, Fundraising Off Matt Gaetz, and Texas Politics
"Olivia Julianna loves Texas, Fleetwood Mac, and the color olive green. Her favorite food is chicken flautas. She could spend hours watching Modern Family, listening to J. Cole, and making TikToks. But what she loves most of all is when politicians underestimate her.
Just take Texas attorney general Ken Paxton. And Virginia’s Republican governor Glenn Youngkin. And Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott. Oh, and infamously, Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who body-shamed 19-year-old Olivia, only for her to turn his fatphobic, misogynistic comments into more than $2 million in donations to abortion funds across the country.
The abortion-rights advocate is a political strategist with Gen Z for Change, a youth-led nonprofit that uses social media to raise awareness, fundraise for causes, and get under politicians’ skin. Olivia is a mainstay at protests at the Texas State Capitol in Austin and has traveled to Washington, DC to meet with Democratic leaders including Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer to Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood. With the 2022 midterm elections on the horizon, Olivia is laser-focused on efforts to unseat the Republican officials who have made Texas one of the most anti-abortion states in the country."
