Unlike most of the sessions at PdF this year, this one is about the changing demographic context for politics in America, and how a younger and more diverse population is interacting in new ways with the political process.
Here’s how Simon Rosenberg of NDN describes the session: “Among the most disruptive developments of the early 21st century is the way the American people themselves are changing. Driven by vast waves of recent immigration, and the rise of the millennial generation, the largest generation in American history, America is undergoing one of its most profound demographic transformations in its history. For those advocating the use of new tools it is essential that they also understand how different – and more racially diverse – the audience they are trying to reach is becoming from any previous group of Americans who have come before.”
Simon Rosenberg and Morley Winograd of the think-tank NDN will explore these changes in a powerful set of data-driven set of presentations. The discussion will be moderated by Washington Post report Jose Vargas. This breakout session is sponsored by NDN.
