Ian Gates, a participant in the Students for Justice Vote intern program, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to talk about getting young voters involved in political campaigns and voter registration efforts. The challenge is finding young voters where they get their news and creating content that comes from trusted sources and is shared in their social networks. This intern program focuses on learning about campaign techniques, political marketing, and civic engagement to build the next generation of campaign managers and candidates.
Deepak and Ian talk about:
- Recruiting African American students to get involved in campaigns
- The value for young voters to get out of their comfort zone by reaching out to register new voters
- Making compelling content to engage young people and encourage them to vote and share the content with their own network
- Speaking out about voting rights
