This event is free and open to all students. | 9/17 | 10am–6pm | 205 Thomas Hunter Hall | Student Activities |
The Youth Vote in 2024 and Beyond: Engaging Gen Z Through Social Media and Mobile Voting | By 2028, Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha will be the largest group of eligible voters in the country. But youth voter turnout in recent presidential elections has remained ominously low.
Join us for a conversation featuring the youngest member of the New York City Council, Chi Ossé, whose election was powered by the engagement of young voters in Central Brooklyn, and who continues to break down local and national policy issues through social media; and Bradley Tusk, longtime New York City political strategist whose family foundation is funding and leading the national campaign to make mobile voting an option for elections across the country. Book signing and pizza to follow. |
