What Happens When 33,000 Young People Show up to Talk Politics?
The mainstream media is going to have to change its narrative. How can you say that we’re apathetic and lazy when 33,000 tune in to watch the president address the nation?
On Tuesday, the League put on #BarackTalk, our second annual State of the Union panel and watch party. From hip-hop stars to journalists, the panelists discussed some of the most pressing issues of our time in the context of the speech. More importantly, twenty-somethings from around the country tweeted at a mind-blowing rate about what the state of our union is.
From unemployment to college affordability to the prison industrial complex, you spoke up; and when 33,000 people get together, the powers that be can’t afford not to listen.
What makes politicians quake in their boots is that we don’t simply pay attention to what’s going on it our world. We vote.
(Don’t forget, if you need to update your voter registration to your new address, do it online right now).
