Скачать или смотреть Redefining the Cardboard Box: Youth in Public Policy | Amanda Schuerman | TEDxGilbert

Is American democracy truly representative of all people? Public policy affects the lives of the young and old alike, and yet one group of people is almost always excluded from the democratic process: the youth! The youth voice is powerful— and young people are ready to have their imaginative and dynamic voices reflected in the policy-making process. It's time to deconstruct our negative perceptions of youth and redefine inclusivity in American democracy. Amanda Schuerman is an 18-year-old community activist from Gilbert, Arizona. She currently serves as the Southwest Regional Director with March For Our Lives and as the Captain of her Speech and Debate team. She is a senior at Gilbert Classical Academy High School and plans to pursue a career in nonprofit law. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
