Gen Z and millennials have high hopes for the future. Except when it comes to politics.
State Rep. Bill G. Schuette (R-Midland) represented Michigan at a Millennial Action Project conference in early August to discuss the future of the nation and the challenges it will face.
On a January day more than 10 years ago, I first stood beneath the rotunda of the Mississippi state Capitol as an elected representative of the people of my hometown.
Millennials – the country’s largest and, arguably, most polarizing generation of people – thrive the most in states such as Washington, Massachusetts and Utah, according to a new analysis by WalletHub, a personal finance website.
There’s no denying that toxic polarization has made it increasingly difficult for policymakers to work together to solve problems. Yet, we need our leaders to address the many seemingly intractable problems that our country faces: issues like climate and energy, jobs and the economy, health, or education.
On Thursday, March 17, the Millennial Action Project (MAP) announced the new leadership of the Georgia Future Caucus in the Georgia state legislature. Co-chairs Rep. Jasmine Clark (D-108) and Rep.

Last week, March 14-18, the Millennial Action Project (MAP) convened policymakers across the country for its 3rd annual National Week of Action.

On Monday, March 14th, Layla Zaidane, President and CEO of the Millennial Action Project (MAP), delivered a State of the States address in partnership with Representative Sara Jacobs (D-CA) and Representative Blake Moore (R-UT), co-chairs of the Congressional Future Caucus.

When President Biden delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday night, he will undoubtedly speak at length about the crisis in Ukraine. Democracy reform advocates hope that subject will be a jumping-off point for a call to fix the American political system. Following is a collection of responses from reform leaders.
February is Black History Month — a time where we celebrate the accomplishments and triumphs of the Black community throughout American history. It is also a call to action, asking all Americans to be a part of the conversation about the pursuit of freedom and racial equity. These conversations can be challenging — as we know, in the United States, partisan and racial divides are complex.
