Everything’s Political with Junius Williams

What if we told you that Newark's teenagers are poised to change history? This season, we’ll explore the impact of 16 and 17-year-olds voting in the upcoming Newark school board elections—an unprecedented move that could reshape the political landscape not just for Newark, but for cities nationwide.

We’ll dive into the journey of youth groups like the Youth Media Symposium, who are passionately advocating for the Vote 16 campaign. You'll hear inspiring stories from young activists as they prepare to make their voices heard and learn about civic engagement. This season is set to be a thrilling ride as we follow these students navigating their newfound power, facing challenges from political leaders, and potentially even their own families.

Join us as we uncover the transformative role that civic education can play in empowering our youth. We’ll discuss the implications of these elections, hear from students and educators, and explore what this means for future generations.

Stay tuned, and let’s get ready to witness history in the making!
