Millennial political power is growing. Yet we tend to have the lowest voter turnout of any age group. Young adults vote less than older demographics in presidential elections. The gap is even greater in mayoral elections. Despite the recent uptake in youth activism and community service, youth are still alienated from local government and civic engagement. State Senator Brian A. Benjamin is empowering young professionals, activists, artists, students, and community leaders to close the gap.
The Millennial Task Force speaks with, to, and for the 18 to 38 year old demographic of Harlem, East Harlem and the Upper West Side through service, representation, information, education and legislation.
“Tackling our issues, Serving our neighborhoods, Forcing change in our community.”
