We the (Young) People

We The (Young) People is the YEO Network’s podcast where we nerd out about policy and legislative accomplishments with YEOs across the country. In each monthly episode of We The (Young) People, you’ll hear about a specific policy that a YEO has introduced to their legislative body. We interview a diverse group of elected officials and pick their brains about how they created these policies and how you can too! Strategies for winning policy fights are also par for the course. Join us once a month and learn about the difference that Young Elected Officials are making in their communities.
