How does Gen Z use TikTok to challenge the political establishment? Why is Gen Z so active in political social movements yet vote at such low levels? How are Gen Z policymakers successful in a political system dominated by boomers?

The future of American Politics is coming soon, and it will be led by Gen Z. 

Please join us and participate in a conversation with renowned experts in Gen Z politics about the coming “cohort cliff” when boomers will give way to a new generation of voters and political leaders and what that will mean for the future of American democracy.
