Today's guest hosts are Edwith Theogene and Charlotte Hancock, Organizing Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress.
During today's episode, they discuss how the 2020 election results were made possible by the record-breaking turnout of young Americans and the decisive voter choice of young voters of color. At Generation Progress, they’ve always rejected the tired stereotype that young people aren’t politically engaged, but this election perhaps more than any other demonstrated the immense political power of millennials and Gen Z. After years of activism and organizing based on the issues they care about and record-breaking turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, young people have managed to not only maintain but build on their momentum to get to where they are today.
To break down how young people were able to impact the election in such a huge way and where they go from here, Ediwith and Charlotte are joined by two experts from URGE (Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity). They are Monica Edwards, the federal policy manager at URGE, and Jaz González, URGE’s digital campaign manager.
