Bridging the Opportunity Divide:
Civic Engagement
Year Up Puget Sound’s 2012 Walk for Opportunity
2
Agree/Disagree
• I believe that voting benefits both me individually and
my community.
• I believe that politicians in my city, state, and country
understand and represent my own and my community’s
interests.
• I believe that my level of education should determine
whether I am heard and understood by my government.
• I believe that young adults should be a primary concern
for politicians.
• I believe that, if I am eligible and don’t have religious
objections to voting, then it is my civic duty to do so.
3
Who votes in America?
Politics is as much about
those who do vote as it is
about those who don’t.
US politics is dominated by
the wealthy, the old, and
the educated.

disconnection
Low voter
turnout and
limited self-
advocacy
Political

placed
elsewhere
Public funding
follows political
priorities
elsewhere
Low wages and
limited career
prospects

Editor's Notes

  1. Agree/Disagree Have one side of the room be “agree” and the other side be “disagree.” Students (and participating staff) should move to the side that best matches their answer to each statement.   I believe that voting benefits both me individually and my community. I believe that politicians in my city, state, and country understand and represent my own and my community’s interests.  Representation is determined by who wins elections. I believe that my level of education should determine whether I am heard and understood by my government. I believe that young adults should be a primary concern for politicians.  Politicians overwhelmingly campaign to older Americans, who vote in higher numbers. That’s one reason why funding for education and workforce training has fallen so much over the last thirty years. I believe that, if I am eligible and don’t have religious objections to voting, then it is my civic duty to do so.
  2. Data from this article: Who doesn’t care about politics? People who would otherwise vote for Democrats (Washington Post) Bystanders are not registered to vote, say seldom or never note, and do not follow government and public affairs most of the time. Ask students: how many of you are bystanders? Why?
  3. It’s no laughing matter. Since 1980, investments in education and youth workforce training have plummeted, even as the budget has grown (often fueled by debt that Millennials will pay off). The United States is less socially mobile today than in 1980. The average person born into poverty today faces worse prospects. In part, and at heart, our social movement building builds on top of the program’s improved outcomes to disrupt this cycle and magnify the impact of Year Up Even if we look at great youth advocacy organizations today – think of things like the Roosevelt Institute, Young Invincibles, etc. – they do their recruiting in universities, and overwhelmingly represent the minority of young Americans who are full-time B.A. students. Current and former Opportunity Youth are an extremely marginalized political constituency.

  7. Considering all of the challenges young adults face, especially young adults of color, in making sure their voices are heard, what does civic engagement look like?   How do we make sure that we are no longer bystanders? Register to vote Talk to our networks What else? Encourage students to develop ideas to engage. Other possible ideas include marches, petitions, volunteering, and awareness raising. Direct students to TurboVote for help registering to vote, updating registration, and to get alerts on upcoming elections: https://yearup.turbovote.org/register.
