How Teens Feel about the Elections
Teen host Allison Lu, a Texas resident, discusses how teens feel about the recent mid-term elections. Young voters had a notable say in the result! According to Tufts University's CIRCLE, an estimated 27% of eligible young Americans voted in the midterms, the second-highest youth turnout for a midterm election in the past 30 years. In Texas, approximately 76% of voters under 30 supported Talarico. She talks about her work with refugee education and how, when federal funding is cut, tutoring sessions are cancelled, staff members lose their jobs, and students lose people they were beginning to trust. Teens have a cautious optimism, mixed with a desire to see real change in our current government. Whether teens are old enough to vote or not, teen voices matter.
