REGISTRATION: Policy over Politics: Bridging Differences to Make Democracy Work

Our political system only works if it can address the needs of the people it serves. Yet the ever-increasing gap in party politics, or “hyperpartisanship,” is preventing our political process from meeting those needs. The next generation is playing a different game. Around the country, young people are taking action in their communities to break partisan narratives that perpetuate the “doom loop” and put policy over politics. In this 40 minute discussion, panelists will explore the everyday methods that young people are using to put aside political differences to make democracy work.

On Tuesday, November 9, 2021 from 5:00pm - 5:40pm ET, join Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, for a moderated special discussion with Up to Us and CGI U alumni:

• Ishrat Aishee, Analyst at Accenture (the Emcee)
• Xavier Lopez, Deliberative Dialogue Facilitator, National Issue Forums Institute
• Ben Ritz, Director of the Progressive Policy Institute’s Center for Funding America’s Future
• Yulkendy Valdez, Co-Founder & CEO, Forefront

Following the discussion, each panelist will host a virtual 30 minute networking session for all attendees. We hope you'll join us!

Please register for this event by 2:00pm ET on November 9, 2021.
