The Millennial Generation needs to step up and own up to the fact we are no longer just “The Youth Vote”—we are a voting bloc whose communities reflect the diversity, complexity, and intensity of 21st Century challenges and opportunities. Youth organizations in the progressive movement are collaborating to coordinate efforts to step up to this challenge through Generation Vote!

"Generation Y, the Millenial generation, has been called many things, the most insulting of which
are: impatient, self-absorbed, and uninvolved. We, as members of the
generation that grew up with the Internet on our laps and 9/11 in our
classroom everyday, disagree. While many pop-culture pundits declare
that our generation is not involved in formal politics and traditional
community involvement, we have been engaging our world in new and
different ways. S.C.O.U.T. B.A.N.A.N.A. (SB), an organization led and
founded by young people, is working at the forefront of Generation Y's
engagement. We believe young people are the key to social change and
important vessels of cultural exchange."

The engagement of Millenals or Generation Y is something that is very important to me and something that the organization thatI run is committed to on a more international scale. At Take Back America, today the panel is talking about the engagement of American millenial youth in grassroots politics across the US - Millenials Rising: Young Voters Revitalizing Democracy.
