Young people have always had something to say and their voices are getting louder in the current cultural and political moment. From the hundreds of thousands marching across the country in support of gun control reform to the work of the activists, organizers, and technologists of Black Lives Matters, Standing Rock, and United We Dream, a rising generation of policymakers and activists are leading the way.
We invite you to take part in New America’s Millennial Public Policy Symposium on April 26, which will elevate new perspectives on some of the most pressing public policy issues of our time.
With the goals of addressing challenges facing our country, engaging rising policymakers, and fostering constructive public discourse, this symposium aims to identify a set of policy solutions with the potential to make a difference in the lives of young adults. Symposium sessions will focus on: new perspectives on communities of care; promises and perils of technology and big data; revisiting policy and political activism; and intergenerational engagement and policy change.
Please join New America’s Millennials Initiative for this day-long symposium which will feature a diverse group of participants across a range of ages, personal experiences, and policy perspectives.
This event is free and open to the general public, though registration is required and space limited. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided to registered attendees.
New America's Millennial Public Policy Symposium is supported by the Citi Foundation.
11:45-1:00 PM - Promises and Perils of Technology and Big Data
How can data and technology be used to strengthen policy? What are the benefits, risks and challenges associated with data and technology driven policymaking? This session seeks to answer these questions within the context of CVE (Countering Violent Extremism), healthcare, and the role of technologists in decision making processes by having Millennial Fellows Emma Coleman, Dillon Roseen, and Spandana Singh each will facilitate distinct conversations the fields’ leading experts.
