Politics of Tomorrow

We’ve all heard the message of how voting is important - that’s not to say it isn’t, but WHY is it important? Our aim with this initiative is to raise awareness on the importance of political engagement and how voter turnout is fundamental to a functioning and healthy democracy, especially amongst youth. The actions we make today will shape the economic, social, and political reality that our generation will grow into and live with as adults.
