BigTentUSA was thrilled to welcome John Della Volpe, author and Director of Polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, and Gen-Zer Brianna Cea, founder and executive director of GenVote.
Whether or not Gen Z goes to the polls will be the deciding factor in November. No one explains how Gen Z is feeling about the election more clearly than Della Volpe, one of America’s premier thought leaders and polling experts on Gen Z. In conversation with Cea, they discussed the enormous power this generation can wield on electoral outcomes, and on the formative factors that have defined Gen Z’s place in the arena of American politics and culture. Della Volpe shared "breaking news" new polling data and screen a clip from the upcoming documentary The Power of Z.
