Young Dem James Cerasia: The View of Young Voters

James Cerasia will describe how young voters view politics and will identify public issues that matter to them.

A member of Generation Z, who were born between 1996 and 2012, he doesn’t view politics as older Baby Boomers and Millennials see it. People in his generation are facing:

• Failing public high schools

• Barriers to buying a house or entering college

• Landlords with inordinate power over tenant rights

• Worsening climate change, water shortages and wildfires

• Reactionary laws that prohibit personal and reproductive rights

• Cutbacks in tuition-free trade and technical schools

• Taxes that favor the wealthy

• Discrimination based on age, pregnancy, parenthood and sexual orientation
