Scott Warren: Generation Citizen
Cofounder and chief executive officer of Generation Citizen, Scott Warren will discuss and sign his new book, Generation Citizen: The Power of Youth in Our Politics. America is at a crossroads. We are alienated from civic engagement, and our democracy is in doubt. Yet there is a new energy in the air. Generation Citizen: The Power of Youth in Our Politics details Scott Warren’s political awakening alongside stories of how young people have always been the instruments of political change. Generation Citizen is also a practical guide, providing concrete steps to jumpstart an engagement with politics and rekindle our love of democracy. Through interviews with students and historical portraits of young people who have enacted great political change - from the civil rights movement to the election of Ronald Reagan to #BlackLivesMatter and the Parkland students’ standing up to gun violence - Generation Citizen shows that time and again, it is the young people who lead the way to change. Scott Warren is the cofounder and chief executive officer of Generation Citizen. He has been named an Echoing Green Fellow, a Draper Richards Kaplan Fellow, and a Forbes 30 under 30 for Social Entrepreneurship. He has also been a social entrepreneur in residence at both Brown University and at Tufts University. He is originally from San Diego and is currently a democracy fellow at Brown University.
