There’s an important
demographic to consider in this tumultuous election season: the young vote.
A fresh cadre of Gen Zers are now eligible to vote in November and we’re
asking: What’s the best way to get this voting bloc to the ballot box? What
are this generation’s convictions and what issues will compel them to
exercise this valuable right?
Our first Standing in
Solidarity program of the season is also a broadcast of Notes from America with Kai Wright,
a program about the unfinished business of our history and its effect on
our future. Wright, the show’s host and managing editor, will moderate a
conversation with a panel of experts that will be broadcast live on WNYC.
The conversation will be preceded by a screening of The Young Vote, a
documentary that follows a diverse group of young people during the 2020
elections to uncover their perceptions of voting and civic engagement.
The Standing in Solidarity
event will include activations in the Prudential Hall lobby including voter
registration and other resources from the NAACP and Project Ready.
Our panelists include:
Alexis Williams,
NYU engineering student, computer coder, social media influencer and
activist who works at the intersection of technology and social justice.
