One hundred and thirty-three people spoke at this week’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Less than a quarter of them were under the age of 30. Maybe that's because less than half those under 30 bothered to vote in the last election. In short, millennial representation in politics looks paltry, at best.
But a growing group of millennial activists are trying to change that.
Founded in 1932, the Young Democrats of America (YDA) is the largest youth-led political organization in America. Their mission, according to their website, is to "elect Democrats, advocate for progressive issues, and train the next generation of progressive leaders."
Revelist spoke with several YDA representatives at the DNC to find out how exactly they plan to do all that — and why it's so important to them.
