Policy and a Pint: Next Generation Leaders
Policy and a Pint® returns July 19. Join us and MPR’s 89.3 The Current at Minneapolis Event Center on St. Anthony Main. Many polls—especially in an election year—suggest that Americans believe the country is in a political mess with a high-level of government distrust. It has been said that young people’s views of government mirror that of the nation. As the generation hit hardest by financial woes, lack of economic mobility, and growing student debt, many young people are walking away from public service, skeptical if politics can bring about the change they want to see. Despite this, some young people in Minnesota are shaking off the political cynicism and redefining the role of young people in government, especially in local politics. At the next Policy and a Pint®, we will talk three young leaders on why they decided to serve, what they have learned, and why it is more important now than ever that young people step in to be the voices that will shape Minnesota’s future. Tickets available now! Join host Steve Seel (89.3 The Current) and the Citizens League for Policy and a Pint®!
