    LWV Northeast hosts "Democracy: The Next Generation - Engaging Young Voters in Civic Life"

    920 N. State of Franklin, Johnson City TN
    Food City Community Room
    Sunday, April 19 at 2p (Please come at 1:30p to socialize while we set up!)
    The future of our democracy is in the hands of the next generation—but right now, many younger citizens are feeling disconnected. Why is confidence at an all-time low, and how can we turn the tide? In this information and insight-packed session, Heather Evans, PhD will provide an overview of the trends in confidence and civic participation by younger citizens. We’ll dig deeper through a panel discussion of young voices, who will explore and elaborate on their own perspectives related to civic participation and voting. We will close with development of a better-informed strategy to address the concerns of the next generation as they take on the mantle of democratic engagement and protection.

    Our educational meetings are open to anyone in the community. They are also live-streamed on our Facebook page and then posted on our YouTube channel. Please come and bring a friend! Light refreshments will be served.
