New Generation, New Politics: Democracy Depends On It

This downloadable report (PDF format) is a position paper examining the engagement of younger generations in the political processes and leadership of the United States. Our research, which comprised of reading articles and documents, interviewing sources, and surveying 18-40 year olds, revealed that younger generations pose the greatest challenge and the greatest opportunity to America’s political landscape.

Our hope is that this study can be a guide for city, state, and federal leaders and government organizations to fully understand the challenges and opportunities associated with succession planning and to successfully engage young people in our nation’s political processes.
