This Speech!

Peace, war, the draft, globalization, civil rights, religion, drugs, voting, the environment, and more.

 
Millennial Politics.com is a site dedicated to educating and motivating people about youth activism. The site hosts very active discussion boards, produces a weekly newsletter and has a network of over 200 Millennials who are key players in America's growing youth movement. This speech is an chance to learn more about the different types of activism that exists all over this country and how they are all forming our generational identity. Furthermore, this event is an opportunity to talk Scott Beale and share your thoughts about what is really important to young people today and where you think our generation is taking the country.

Particularly in light of the 9-11-01 attack on our country, we encourage you to attend this event, to learn more about our generation and to share your thoughts and concerns. Here are just some of the questions we will answer together:

• Will our generation support the draft?
• What does this mean for the forces of globalization?
• How will the environmental movement be affected by the coming war?
• What about civil rights?, the drug war?, and stem cell research?

There is a lot to discuss and the conversation will be shaped by you!

Here is a message from Scott.

"My name is Scott Beale and I promise this will be a different kind of speech than you are use to. Most of the speakers I heard while in college were over twice my age and just talked at me. They'd babble on, people would ask questions, you go home and that's it. That's not what I am all about.

I will make the speech an interactive event where for the first 15-20 minutes I will outline the state of youth politics in America and what we are doing at Millennial Politics. Then for the next 40-45 minutes, we will have a discussion, a back and forth argument trying to identify the most important issues to youth today. Some of this discussion will help shape the book I am writing about youth politics. I want you to have a chance to contribute to our first generational autobiography."

Get Your Campus Engaged!

We at Millennial Politics think the site is a great way to get our word out, but there is nothing like hearing the ideas behind the book in person. This won't be just a speech, but an opportunity for us to ask you questions. A chance to shape the conversation about our generation's priorities. Scott will hand out surveys, ask questions, engage the audience, challenge those in the room and debate and discuss how the future of this generation and how we will change the world. He will stick around long after the speech to talk to organizations, student leaders, and other people about their ideas, opinions and ambitions.

After attending the event, you will have the chance to be hooked into the Millennial Politics network of over 225 Millennial Leaders from across the country and numerous youth and political organizations. We help people find internships, peers, and organizations who can support their goals. We will stay in touch through our newsletter and help support your youth activism in any way we can.

Don't Delay, Stop Complaining about apathy and work towards activism!

Nothing will ever change in this world unless you start to make it happen. Come and find out more.
