17-year-old Noa Zimmerman recently penned a letter to the editor in the River Bend region of Illinois explaining why Convention of States, the nationwide grassroots movement seeking to call the first-ever Article V convention, enjoys multigenerational support.
“Article V of the U.S. Constitution provides my generation and all Americans the opportunity to shape the future of our nation,” Zimmerman wrote. “This is an opportunity to reform our government so that it better reflects our values and priorities as Americans. I am worried about issues of government overreach, governmental accountability, and the preservation of our freedoms. The Convention of States promotes a constitutional avenue to address these concerns.”

The young writer urged her peers to “collaborate with our State Legislature to advocate for these changes and actively engage in a historical movement.” The Prairie State has not yet passed the Convention of States resolution. Thirty-four states must adopt identical bills in order to trigger the convention.
Zimmerman pointed out that “economic uncertainty, political gridlock, and an ever-increasing national debt” threaten Gen Z’s future in this country. “COS is about ensuring a future where our voices are heard and protected,” she said.
“Convention of States can help reshape our future and make big changes happen while holding our government accountable.”
