To foster a more inclusive democracy that truly reflects the diverse needs of our population, we must empower young voters. This is crucial not only because they hold significant sway in upcoming elections—voters aged 18-34 will represent over 40 million potential votes in 2024, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the American electorate—but also due to their unique perspectives and backgrounds.

Laurel is Co-Director of the Institute of Public Service along with Professor of Sociology, Zachary McKenney who joins us with two of their students.
