Meeting Topic
Join Building Bridges Maine via Zoom on Monday, May 22nd at 5:30 in a discussion about younger voters with younger voters. Let’s challenge the perception that young adults are disengaged and learn about the reality of their involvement.
What does the data tell us about voter participation?
Why does it matter?
How can we better engage younger voters and build cross-generational involvement?
Joann Bautista, Maine’s Deputy Secretary of State, and Allyson Gardner, Director of Maine Students Vote, will share their knowledge and experience as we hear from students about their perspectives, engagement, and attitudes towards voting and political involvement. After remarks and a short Q&A session, we will have the opportunity to explore these issues in smaller breakout groups then reconvene to share our thoughts.
Please bring your thoughts and experience.
