Bard Center for Environmental Policy presents
National Climate Seminar: The Youth Vote & The Environment
Alicia Prevost, Defend Our Future
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
On October 19th, join Alicia Prevost, Director of Defend Our Future, to discuss why young voter turnout at the upcoming election is more crucial than ever, especially considering the state of our environment. The youth vote has played a critical role in the last two elections. And in 2016 “there’s a lot at stake for young voters. This is their chance to make a difference for their future. Success for us is when elected officials realize that doing the right thing on climate change is also smart politics.” --Alicia Prevost
