THREAD: Oh the elusive “young voters.” How do we inspire you to show up? If we talk to you, it’s clear we have it all wrong. You don’t need to be told to “go #vote ” or it’s “your civic duty.” (1/4)

For good reason, you’re pessimistic about whether it even matters if you participate. You are informed. Better than any generation. Digital natives. Can call bullshit on anything. But you don’t feel you have agency. How do we give you agency? (2/4)

Throw out voting as a “final destination.” Think of voting as part of a three-act journey.
Act one: learn the issues and candidates and register. Act two: #vote ! But the most important act is the last. Act three: Hold ‘em accountable. (3/4)

Your agency is rooted in your power to hold elected officials — even the ones you voted for — accountable. We need your generation to step up and out on this three act civics journey. This #NationalVoterRegistrationDay , claim your power, and step up. (4/4)
