Dear John,

The Millennial Action Project (MAP) is all hands on deck as we prepare to host our sixth annual Future Summit July 29-31! We are convening young state legislators from all across the country to share and build solutions to next generation challenges. Future Summit is our most anticipated event of the year, and we are thrilled to be back in person with our legislators very soon.

This past month we saw our State Future Caucus Network shine! From a caucus re-launch to several convenings on policy issues, our SFCN network is leading the way in bipartisanship discussion and future-oriented policymaking. Read on to see what we have been up to.

Onward,

MAP Team

“So what can we celebrate this Independence Day, when the work of our founding is far from complete? We can celebrate that since the founding of our nation, America is always being refounded, and with a generation of millennials and Gen Z overwhelmingly committed to improvement we have a lot of founders on the job.”

The Hill | “Transform our energy grid now with renewable microgrids” ft. Layla Zaidane

“Microgrids have emerged as a key intervention for forward-looking lawmakers, especially younger millennial leaders, to act upon. The technology is there. It’s now time for the political will and policy to follow.”
