Overview
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 their valuable freedoms?
Our first Standing in Solidarity program of the season is also a broadcast of Notes from America with Kai Wright, a show about the unfinished business of our history and its grip on our future. Wright, the show’s host and managing editor, will moderate a panel conversation 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.
