Jesse Alaniz
Founder/Director

Jesse is the founder of Protect November – an initiative built on one core idea:

To make voting a bold act of self-expression – using edgy fashion, unapologetic statements, and a vibe that makes voting feel genuinely cool and powerful.

Protect November exists to make voting easy, safe, and freely accessible, especially for younger voters and underrepresented communities who are too often ignored, discouraged, or forced to navigate a system full of friction.

Jesse brings a blend of nonprofit fundraising and business experience to the mission. He’s raised money for multiple nonprofits, including voting rights organizations, and has seen firsthand what actually drives action: clear messaging, practical support, and a brand that meets people where they are – without talking down to them.

On the business side, Jesse has built and operated projects with an operator’s mindset: strategy, marketing, partnerships, and execution – so Protect November isn’t just about “awareness.” It’s about outcomes.

Through creative campaigns, culturally resonant merchandise, and technology that reduces barriers, Protect November turns civic engagement into something people can feel proud to wear, share, and stand behind.

We’ll help you vote. Easily. Safely. Freely. And you’ll look good while doing it! 😉
