Associate Manager of Policy & Outreach at Millennial Action Project - Washington, DC, US
The Millennial Action Project (MAP) has an audacious mission: make political cooperation a norm through Millennial leadership. As polarization and gridlock paralyzes America's political system, our generation must create a new politics and govern our nation into the future. MAP is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to activating Millennial policymakers to foster cooperative political leadership and revitalize our democracy.In 2013, MAP organized the nation's first and only caucus for young Congressional members of both political parties, called the Congressional Future Caucus. This group forms a unique entrepreneurial governing environment for the next generation of leaders. MAP scaled this model into the states, currently in nearly 30 state legislatures, with leaders creating pragmatic, post-partisan solutions on future-oriented issues. This work has led to bipartisan achievements on issues ranging from entrepreneurship and 21st century skills training, to veterans' employment and impact investing—including the introduction of the first federal legislation on social impact bonds.MAP and its work have been featured in: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NBC's Meet The Press, CNN, MSNBC's Morning Joe and Ronan Farrow Daily, ABC News, USA Today, POLITICO, National Journal, The Hill, Roll Call, BuzzFeed, C-SPAN, Al Jazeera America, and more. The national Advisory Board includes Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr., Governor Jennifer Granholm, former Congressman Carlos Curbelo, and others.
