[[link removed]] Ms. Memo: Women's Rights on the Ballot
October 23, 2024
The polls show it: women's votes will be a decisive factor in the 2024 elections. With so much at stake—and with abortion and women’s rights on the ballot—Ms. is here to deliver the latest need-to-know elections news for feminists, every Wednesday.
Introducing: The Youth Vote is Essential to Democracy [[link removed]]

(Brandi Phipps)
Young voters played a pivotal role in recent elections—2018, 2020 and 2022—and stand to do so again in 2024, with more than 40 million Gen Zers eligible to vote, 20 percent of whom are first-time voters.
The numbers are only part of the story.
This installment of Women & Democracy, “The Youth Vote Is Essential to Democracy,” illustrates that the future envisioned by young leaders is bright—it’s one that would codify reproductive rights, bodily autonomy and gender equity … ensure a safe, sustainable planet and freedom from violence … and invest in deep, systemic reforms to achieve racial justice and economic opportunity.
Young people have always been the standard bearers for change. But today, they shoulder a challenging charge: as the catalyst for and force-multipliers of the future of inclusive democracy.
Ms. is proud to feature the work of our own roster of young writers, especially those covering the 2024 elections (some of whom are voting for the first time!). And doubly proud to partner with two premier organizations at the fore of mobilizing and amplifying Gen Z activism: DoSomething, a hub for youth-centered service whose early vision to make volunteerism “cool” has uplifted millions on a mission to change the world; and The Anthem Awards, the social impact arm of The Webbys, which recognizes exceptional public campaigns and leaders, including those sparked and fueled by and for young people.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Listen to the latest Ms. Studios podcast The Z Factor: Gen Z's Voice & Vote — now on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In our opening episode, I want to level-set by learning a bit about Generation Z as a whole. What are we thinking about? What do we care about? And I thought we’d dive into that with some good old-fashioned polling. I’m thrilled to welcome Anil Cacodcar, the student chair of the Harvard Public Opinion Project, which has been conducting the leading biannual poll of young Americans in the country for over two decades.
We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
