Generation Yes was a political organisation established to campaign for a yes vote amongst young voters in the referendum on Scottish Independence.[1] It was established in January 2014 with an official launch two months later.
History
Generation Yes was founded by Rhiannon Spear and Kirsten Thornton in January 2014.[2] Its main mission was to ensure that the arguments for voting yes in the referendum on Scottish Independence reach young voters,[3] especially newly enfranchised 16- and 17-year-olds.[4]
A launch event was held in Glasgow on 29 March 2014.[5] The organisation registered with the Electoral Commission on 8 May 2014.
Following the referendum
A poll taken after the 2014 referendum showed 71% of teenagers had voted yes.[6] Despite defeat, activists stated that they were proud of the campaign they had led[7] and announced that they intended to continue as a group aiming to engage with and educate young people in politics.[2]
