Our Voting Bloc--The Importance of Millennials Taking Their Seat at the Table

Over the weekend at a talk I gave about the power that Millennials can play in the political sphere, I emphasized that we all need to think not just about how our country will be affected by which candidate we decide to vote for, but how our voting bloc will be affected by our choice to vote at all.

If Millennials show up to the polls, we WILL matter. We will no longer be ignored if our numbers changed the direction of the election or we make up a notable portion of the electorate.

People often counter prompts to vote during any election with, "I do not like either of the candidates." Regardless, you should care about your future, and your position as a member of a generation that does need to be taken seriously.

Cannot wait til November 5th!
