Description
Deirdre Schifeling, the ACLU’s Chief Political and Advocacy Officer, got her start as a community organizer before the internet was a powerful tool that connected people. She sits down with Dari, a recent high-school graduate from Florida, to discuss how he sees the way Gen Z is leveraging local politics to make change. They break down why young voters have more power locally than many people think, the long fight to protect our civil rights and civil liberties, and how Gen Z is at the forefront of generational change.
