Happy Tuesday! In my latest piece for Teen Vogue, I examine the White House’s youth engagement strategy and how it’s resonating with young Americans. Check it out here.

TLDR ⤵️

Beyond TikToking with high profile celebrities like the Jonas Brothers and Instagramming with Olivia Rodrigo, behind the scenes, the Biden-Harris administration has hosted in-person events — including summits at the White House — and held listening sessions with young leaders.

For the piece, I spoke with Hannah Bristol, who spearheads the Biden-Harris’s administration’s youth efforts, about how and if the White House has listened to young people’s concerns.

For their part, young leaders from groups like Voters of Tomorrow, Rise, and the YouthInGov coalition said they appreciate the opportunity to share their concerns with this White House, but would like to see more formal and institutionalized engagement.

Hi Rachel! I love your newsletter and I am eager for you to cover more about GenZ. I'd love to speak to you about GenZ and free expression issues, especially in light of legislation such as 'Don't Say Gay' and heightened censorship of students. I am a First Amendment activist and the youngest Board member for the Student Press Law Center. Happy to talk more over email!
