On September 10th, 2024, the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump took place. The main topics included the economy, abortion, immigration, and health care. Whether you identify as a Republican, a Democrat, or as an Independent, voting is crucial, especially in a time of chaos.
According to Francis Page Jr. of CNN, Generation Z votes combined with millennials “will account for a significant 37% of all voters. That’s a staggering potential that could shape the entire political landscape,”.
Our passion for reproductive rights, immigration policies, housing, and environmental issues could change politics. We have the power to shape our future, so we need to get out there and vote! We also have new access to politics with social media being a new medium for all news and conversations. Of course, this can be a way of learning new information but also a way of spreading awareness to teach others about what is happening in politics today. Information always needs to be fact-checked, but still, this influx of information at our fingertips is a new kind of political access and we need to utilize it. We have a completely new way of receiving politics which will change the landscape. Because of this, make sure to get out there and have your voice heard! The power our voices hold is extraordinary.
