A Better Deal: Securing Our Economic Future NOW.
October 15th and 16th, 2009
The Omni Shoreham Hotel
Washington, DC
Today’s young adults are the first generation in a century who are not likely to be better off than their parents. Compared to previous generations, young people in their 20s and 30s earn less, carry more debt and pay more for everything from health care to housing. The current recession has only exacerbated these conditions, hitting young people of color and those without a college degree the hardest. But the Millennial Generation, a key force in the 2008 elections, is mobilizing to build a new national movement to address today’s pocketbook concerns as well as to redress decades of declining economic opportunity and social mobility.
Demos is proud to host the second conference on A Better Deal: Securing Our Economic Future NOW, in partnership with more than a dozen leading national youth organizations and other key voices. Please join hundreds of young activists and leaders to advance a bold policy agenda to create a better deal for this generation and the nation.
This conference is FREE and limited travel scholarships are available.
