We are a different America in 2016 than we were in 2012.There is a new generation of voters: younger, independent, and more Latino than ever. They are early tech adopters that meet peers through apps, yet wait hours in line to vote. They approve of equal marriage and a woman’s right to choose, yet hear hateful words from presidential candidates. How do we modernize the civic process to mobilize this generation instead of eroding their voting rights? How does tech, campaign rhetoric, and social movements fuel their civic mindsets? Join Maria Teresa Kumar for a deep dive into the mind of a Latino millennial: why and how they vote and how they’ll shape our political landscape for years to come.

SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.
