Description
On this edition of The Mighty, we speak with Founder and Executive Director of Voters of Tomorrow, Santiago Mayer. Santiago, an immigrant from Mexico, noticed a lack of political engagement at his high school and decided to tackle that by creating a new organization for young people, by young people, when he was just 17-years-old. Since then, Voters of Tomorrow has become one of the preeminent organizations for youth voter turnout, with their initiatives and activations frequently making national headlines and smashing narratives about the enthusiasm of young voters.
On The Mighty, we feature some of the most impactful responses, reactions, narratives, musings, and rants of Meidas content creators and highlight pro-democracy candidates and activists throughout the country. New episodes of the traditional MeidasTouch Podcast featuring drop every Tuesday and Friday morning.
