Paint The Polls Black Lynae Vanee talks about young people finding their political voice.
Transcript
00:00What are some of the things that you've learned about how Gen Z engages politically and how you've been able to encourage certain people who have had questions about interacting politically, how to become politically active, how to find their political identity, and to just really forge their path as a political person looking to engage?
00:22Yeah, so the internet. When we found out that Joe Biden would be stepping down and Kamala Harris would be taking the endorsement, or was getting the endorsement, rather, that week I saw so many young people, and interestingly enough as well, young white people hosting lives incessantly.
00:42I get on TikTok maybe once or twice a day, but throughout the week I would see the same young people creators on live doing a lot of the work to sort of argue folks down.
00:51So young people are arming themselves with information to be able to come into public spaces where a lot of rhetoric is spewed to share the facts.
00:58I think young people are really interested in engaging in this combat against myths and disinformation in a real way.
