Young people have always had something to say and their voices are getting louder in the current cultural and political moment. From the hundreds of thousands marching across the country in support of gun control reform to the work of the activists, organizers, and technologists of Black Lives Matters, Standing Rock, and United We Dream, a rising generation of policymakers and activists are leading the way.

We invite you to take part in New America’s Millennial Public Policy Symposium on April 26, which will elevate new perspectives on some of the most pressing public policy issues of our time.

With the goals of addressing challenges facing our country, engaging rising policymakers, and fostering constructive public discourse, this symposium aims to identify a set of policy solutions with the potential to make a difference in the lives of young adults. Symposium sessions will focus on: new perspectives on communities of care; promises and perils of technology and big data; revisiting policy and political activism; and intergenerational engagement and policy change.

Please join New America’s Millennials Initiative for this day-long symposium which will feature a diverse group of participants across a range of ages, personal experiences, and policy perspectives.

This event is free and open to the general public, though registration is required and space limited. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided to registered attendees.

New America's Millennial Public Policy Symposium is supported by the Citi Foundation.


10:30-11:30 AM - New Perspectives on Communities of Care
Consisting of a pair of short conversations facilitated by Millennial Fellows Myacah Sampson, Roselyn Miller, and Jenny Muñiz, this session will advance past justifying why inclusive care and education policies matter and toward implementing solutions that address the needs and aspirations of low-income communities of color. Speakers from New America's Family-Centered Social Policy program, Better Life Lab, and Education Policy teams will strategize best practices for how to reduce systemic barriers, build robust programs that encourage engagement, and lay the groundwork for equitable policy.
