Sanchez's interest in politics began when she was an undergraduate at
Wagner College after witnessing the impact of
Occupy Wall Street movement which exposed pressing issues facing America. Convinced that grassroots mobilization has the potential to influence good policies that create a better America, Sanchez decided to join "forward-thinking" candidates’ political campaigns. Cohen-Sanchez left her graduate school to join
Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. In 2018, she joined Democrat
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) where she played a role heading a segment of AOC’s campaign for
New York's 14th congressional district. Sanchez founded the
Unfuck America Tour and National Ground Game in November 2024. The Unfuck America Tour was originally conceived to follow
Turning Point USA's college tour and offer progressive alternatives, specifically regarding the youth vote. After
Charlie Kirk’s
assassination, Cohen-Sanchez considered canceling the events but chose to proceed, stating that the tour would “provide a forum to defend free speech and condemn political violence.” == References ==
