At 'Vote! A Guide for Young Adults,' we understand the transformative power of the youth vote. It is with great excitement that I share my recent interview with NPR's KPCW, a conversation that dives deep into the motivations behind my book, "Vote! A Guide for Young Adults" and the power today’s youth have to impact the 2024 elections.


The NPR Conversation: Sparking a Movement

During the enlightening discussion on NPR's KPCW, we peeled back the layers on what it truly means for young people to step into their power as voters. The dialogue touched on critical themes of political involvement and the barriers that often discourage young adults from participating in elections. This NPR feature highlights how vital each vote is, especially with razor-thin margins in recent elections.


"Vote! A Guide for Young Adults": Your Handbook for Change

"Vote! A Guide for Young Adults," is intended as a nonpartisan motivator for young adults who feel that their vote doesn’t matter. It lays out with data how absolutely imperative it is for young adults to participate in elections so that they can have a government that represents their interests. This guide serves as a beacon for young voters, illuminating the path to informed participation. In a world of overwhelming information and political noise, the book stands out as a clear, concise voice, guiding young voters to realize their incredible opportunity to sway elections and influence local and national politics.


Take Action: The Power of Your Voice

I urge all young adults to harness the insights from the NPR interview and the knowledge within "Vote! A Guide for Young Adults." It's about taking ownership of the future and making your voice resonate. Our democratic system thrives when all voices contribute to the collective decision-making process.
