Interns as young as 12 are canvassing for support for Millennial politician Josh Lafazan. Lafazan is part of the Nassau County Legislature and counts on a team of 75 12-22-year-old interns to knock on neighbors’ doors and rally the Long Island community into acting on issues that affect young people. One 16-year-old team member explains why she and other young people are getting more politically involved: “Parkland was a real wake-up call that young people were the ones that were going to have to do something to make a change. That’s what sparked me to realize that I was the perfect age to start getting involved.” (NYT)
