With over 100 million users and counting in the US, TikTok is beginning to play a major role in the political education and mobilization of its young user base. In this episode, which was written and recorded in the aftermath of the November 2020 election, Talk Policy to Me reporter Noah Cole spoke with Aidan Kohn-Murphy and Toni Akande, two of the teens who run the “Gen Z for Change” TikTok page. Aidan and Toni touched on how they used traditional organizing practices to get out the vote through TikTok in the last election cycle, the tradeoffs between producing popular and substantive political content, and where they think the future of online political mobilization is headed. Noah also heard from four additional political TikTok creators during a speed round of questions on politics, policy, and online civic engagement.  More info on: Gen Z for Change https://genzforchange.us/ https://www.tiktok.com/@genzforchange Quentin Jiles https://linktr.ee/Qrjiles  https://www.tiktok.com/@quentinjiles Elise Joshi https://www.tiktok.com/@elisejoshi Matthew Rein “The Dem Hype House” https://www.tiktok.com/@thedemhypehouse Colton Hess “Tok the Vote” https://www.tokthevote.com/ https://www.tiktok.com/@tok.the.vote
