| Description: | Young people today are becoming politically engaged at a faster rate than any other demographic. We are developing many of the online tools politicians use to spread their messages. We are starting non-profits and NGOs. We are organizing campaigns or running for office ourselves. As we look around the world we are about to inherit, our concerns are becoming more urgent–and harder to ignore. Yet the media and right-wing politicians insist on treating us like some sort of bizarre alien tribe. They decry youth culture, present jaded views of what young people stand for, and, worst of all, speak for us instead of letting us speak for ourselves. That’s why we’ve started Pushback, a blog written and edited by a diverse group of progressive young people from across the country. Pushback’s goal is simple: Let young people speak for themselves, not just on stereotypically “youth-oriented” topics like music and celebrities, but on everything from healthcare to congressional races to American foreign policy. We can’t stop those who continue to stereotype and attack us. But we can push back, and that’s why we’re here. |
