Gen-Z Delegates Push for Change at the D.N.C.

The Harris campaign has unlocked a wave of enthusiasm among young voters. But how do Democrats plan to fix the real-world problems impacting their lives? We spoke to four young delegates about the issues driving Gen-Z.

“I have never voted in a presidential election before, and this one is pretty consequential. We hear a lot of ‘we will ******, we will win,’ which I think is awesome. But I think we also need to dig deep into the issues that are plaguing our country.” “Right now, not only are houses too expensive for people to buy, but rent is too high. It’s a work or **** economy. And so we need there to be greater regulations on the housing and the renting market. We need rent caps. We need people to understand that if you can’t afford to put a roof over your head, if you can’t afford food on your table, then there’s no way that you can argue that we’re free in this country.” “My most important issue, especially for me and for my friends, is ********* rights. Not just ********* rights, but reproductive rights as a whole. There was one maternity ward left in my congressional district that just closed in January.” “The one thing that’s most important for Kamala Harris to get the youth vote is that she bans arms sales to ******* and that she also stops giving ******* military aid.” “C.E.O.s are making tens of millions of dollars while they’re paying their cashiers less than minimum wage in some states still. So it really is important for us to tackle corporate greed. I would be really aggressive with those kinds of changes if we wanted to see progress in those areas.” “I have ****** family members. I have so many ****** friends and they are living their life just fine now. And it says in Project 2025, they would lose the right. They could be fired at their job. They could lose their housing. Trans people are in danger all the time. And this would just make them so much worse off.” “There are definitely a lot of issues in the party and a lot of things all of us youth don’t agree on. But I think one thing we can agree on is that there’s hope about our future and beating back a potential president who could be really harmful, and who could be a dictator and could be a threat to our country.”
