As we all know 2020 is a very important Election year that will shape the course of our democracy for decades to come.  Millennials and Gen Z’ers  will hold the largest share of eligible voters this fall and they have the power to make a difference.

We can help change this historical trend by supporting initiatives to increase access to the democratic process. Folks at Common Power, a Seattle based organization that provides creative onramps to civic engagement have launched two Summer programs through our CP Future community that will provide ongoing, structured opportunities for this group of voters. It will provide everyone with a voice and take part in nonpartisan democratic engagement activities.
