He’s giving a fantastic intro to our partner @22millionvotes whose #22x20 campaign is seeking to activate 22 million teens who will turn 18 by 2020, our next presidential election!
Kicking off #22x20 with conversations about what teens think is the state of their community and country, including #StateOfTheYouth with @ozy and @dosomething RIGHT NOW
Current panel:
- Interned with Obama at 12 y.o.
- LGBTQ advocate after not knowing a gay man until college
- Advocate for sexual violence victims after knowing too many victims
These people are college students and recent grads. Wow. #22x20#StateOfTheYouth
Young ppl can be engaged in elections before 18. Rebecca worked on a political campaign as a 12 yr old! Our #22x20 partner @MikvaChallenge has an amazing Elections In Action curriculum to help youth learn from electoral participation #StateOfTheYouth
@MikvaDC youth Soapbox speakers at #StateofOurUnion are amazing, powerful and need to be heard, as do the 1000's they represent, We need youth voice in our civil discourse #22X20
