MAP President and Founder Steven Olikara recently joined journalist Mike Gousha at Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to discuss how millennials can restore political cooperation and put an end to polarization and gridlock.
Hear why, despite the national narrative, Olikara still has hope for America’s youngest generations.

This week, MAP co-hosted a panel discussion with Tufts University on Millennial voters in 2018 & beyond. The idea that all panelists agreed is the best way candidates can touch Millennials? “Keep it real.” Millennials are looking for leaders who listen and understand them. Read CIRCLE’s latest report on Millennials’ diverse political views and the best ways to engage young people in civic life. As we head into the 2018 elections, this is an inspiring reminder that America’s youngest voices do matter.

We asked MAP’s COO Layla Zidane what recent discovery has been inspiring her: “Black Panther. I saw this movie last weekend and have been thinking about it ever since. The complexity and depth in character that both the heroes and villains displayed made everyone, whether you agreed with them or not, incredibly relatable. Black Panther showed that there is more that unites us than divides us, and we would be wise to focus on ways we can achieve our common goals together.”
