A Better Deal: Reclaiming Economic Security for a New Generation

May 8 & May 9
The Liaison Capitol Hill
415 New Jersey Ave. NW
WASHINGTON, DC

It’s getting harder for young adults to get ahead in America. Compared to previous generations, today’s 20-somethings earn less, carry more debt and pay more for everything from health care to housing. With young people voting in record numbers, it’s time to put this generation’s economic crisis on the national agenda and build a movement for a better deal. There will be hundreds of young activists meeting to learn about their generation’s economic crisis. The conference is not just about ideas, though – it’s about action. Attendees will get the tools to connect politics to the personal financial struggles of young voters, and get hooked up with others to build a movement for a better deal in their communities.

This conference is FREE and limited travel scholarships are available.
