Ground Game: Gen Z, Trump's Golden Age, and Building a Movement from Tennessee to California

This week's Ground Game showcases something powerful: the next generation is ready.

We're not just talking about the future. We're organizing to make it reality.

Gen Z is Ready for the Trump Revolution

Susan Kokinda, Midwest Coordinator for Promethean Action and the Coalitions Vice Chair of the Michigan State GOP, hosted a roundtable discussion with leaders who are engaged in organizing young people, especially Generation Z.

Young political leaders in Michigan are engaging the generation in the fight for the future. The discussion showed the potential that the MAGA movement has with young people.

The speakers include Tyler Campbell, Michigan Federation of College Republicans Chair, Austin Franzel, Youth Chair for Congressional District 9 Republicans, and Mike Steger of Promethean Action.

Steger summed up the discussion: "There's a real potential to engage a generation that can see very clearly we don't have a future unless we build one. We're the political movement that is going to empower you to build our country and build our civilization."

New Promethean Action Flyer: "Build Baby Build"

Promethean Action has a new flyer, "Build Baby Build," on President Trump's economic successes. It outlines Trump's initiatives to rebuild the American economy, highlighting the steel sector, aluminum, auto, machinery, and construction.

The fact sheet demonstrates the new, vital economic reality taking shape across America. It underscores the pillars of a healthy growing nation: tariffs and economic nationalism, family-supporting incomes, safe neighborhoods, Social Security protection, and peace through strength.

You can find the leaflet on our website, under the "Get Involved" section. Download it, print it, email it, and circulate it to your local officials and political clubs. Every Congressional office got a copy on our recent trip to Washington, D.C. Plans are being made for national distribution.

Support for President Trump in California

Promethean Action organizers set up a table display in Modesto, CA on October 17. Among the signs at the table were "Support Trump, Stop Here" and "The World Needs More Donald Trumps."

We also had a sign that encourage, "No on Prop 50 - Defend Fair Elections." Prop 50 is on the November 4th ballot, and would authorize changes to Congressional District Maps favoring Democrats. Mindy Pechenuk, candidate for Mayor of Oakland, and many other California residents are mobilizing to defeat Proposition 50.

We organized around President Trump's economic policies on energy, trade, and tariffs. People are happy to see us and hear about our recent trip to Washington, D.C.

Organizing for Trump's Golden Age in Tennessee

Kesha Rogers was a delegate to the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women’s convention on October 18 and 19. She met and discussed policy and ideas with Republican women from across the state. Everyone was on board with President Trump’s Agenda for bringing in the Golden Age of America.

The theme for this year’s convention was “Over The Hills & Through The Woods On The Golden Choo Choo: Trump’s Golden Age." The speakers included U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, Congressman John Ross, Congressman Chuck Flieschmann, and TNGOP chair Scott Golden.

On Saturday morning, Congressman David Kustoff, who represents the Memphis, TN region, gave a powerful speech on President Trump’s many accomplishments. All the speakers highlighted Trump’s successes in bringing about peace in the Middle East and in other areas of economic development and energy advancements.

During private conversations, Kesha distributed copies of Promethean PAC's half- page flyer on New Republican Party of President Trump. Everyone agreed that 2026 will be a massive turning point in support for Trump's policies.

Mindy Pechenuk for Mayor of Oakland: For a California Miracle Education Policy

Mindy Pechenuk, candidate for Mayor of Oakland, CA released a statement on October 24, declaring war on behalf of California school children. Titled, "The California Miracle," the statement announces, "I am waging war for our California children. No longer will we have illiterate children, passing through grades when they cannot write, read, or do math."

Example of the recent success in Mississippi

"In 2024 Mississippi adopted the " Literacy-Based Promotion Act" and with programs like "Strong Readers, Strong leaders" Mississippi was able to skyrocket from 49th to the top 20 nationally in education, fueled by phonics, retention, and accountability. My battle plan Is modeled On Mississippi Miracle. This worked in Mississippi and it will work in California!"

You can read the entire statement on her website.

Promethean Optimism in Northern California

A team of three from Promethean Action attended a meeting in Suisun City, CA, on October 27. The event was sponsored by the City Manager and the company, California Forever, to promote an urban residential and industrial project fifty miles northeast of San Francisco, to include a major shipbuilding facility in the immediate vicinity.

In opposition, Solano Together was created by a bunch of environmental groups and others determined to block the project. The City Manager spoke about the project from the narrow standpoint of how the city was facing financial difficulties. During the Q and A, he tried to placate the anti-growth opposition by downplaying how big the project was.

Promethean Action's Hunter Cobb sounded a very different note, saying California Forever had done a terrible PR job. He emphasized how inspiring this project would be for all of California, bringing back manufacturing, with family-supporting wages, and creating a community that functions. This optimistic perspective resonated with a number of people in the audience.
