Summary

NextGen America is the nation’s largest youth voting organization that’s using innovative digital and field strategies to turn out young voters in key states. On today's episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, we speak with NextGen America President Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez about the power of young voters in the 2022 midterm elections, and the strategies NextGen is implementing to get these voters to the polls. But politics is not simply about elections. It's about how our elected officials deliver tangible results for their constituents. And with a string a historic wins for the people, Democrats and the Biden administration have never been better suited to make the case for why Democrats have earned the trust of the American people, especially as a brazenly autocratic Republican Party seeks power at all costs. We hope you enjoy our conversation on this edition of The Mighty! On The Mighty, we feature some of the most impactful responses, reactions, narratives, musings, and rants of Meidas content creators and highlight pro-democracy candidates and activists throughout the country. New episodes of the traditional MeidasTouch Podcast featuring drop every Tuesday and Friday morning.
