The Center for American Progress is continually monitoring the development and impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The safety and well-being of our panelists and audiences are of the utmost importance to us.
Out of an abundance of caution, this event and all upcoming public events at the Center for American Progress will only be available via an online livestream. Please RSVP to receive a reminder to watch live.
Viewers are welcome to submit audience questions to each event and will be notified of individual event hashtags after they RSVP. As always, we will continue to live caption our event livestreams so that they remain accessible to all.
With all eyes on the 2020 election, every candidate and campaign wants to know the secret to a victory in November. The answer may be earning the votes of Millennials and Generation Z. These powerhouse generations will make up more than one-third of potential voters in this election, but a history of campaigns devaluing or overlooking these voters means much of that power remains untapped.
Please join Generation Progress for a discussion on the potential for young people to decide the 2020 election and our advice for campaigns, candidates, and political organizations on what they can do from now until the election to better reach, persuade, and turn out this large and increasingly diverse section of the electorate.
