Book Discussion with Michael Connery, author of Youth to Power: How Today's Young Voters are Building Tomorrow's Progressive Majority

Busboys and Poets (Langston Room)

Youth to Power examines how today’s young people are combining technology with a vigorous social spirit to revive progressive politics. In addition to recounting the history of youth politics since its emergence in the 1972 election, as well as showing where the progressive youth movement still lags behind its more organized conservative counterpart, the book also offers an insider look at the major figures and organizations of the progressive youth boom, and identifies strategies that the Democratic Party can use to capitalize on its new advantages with young voters.

Michael Connery currently blogs about progressive youth politics at futuremajority.com, and is also a weekend front-page writer at MyDD.com, as well as a contributor to TechPresident.com and the Huffingont Post’s “Off the Bus” blog.
