What Motivates Gen-Z to Vote with Annabel Roubinowitz

<p><strong>Annabel Roubinowitz,</strong> a high school senior living in San Francisco, surveyed her Gen-Z cohorts to find out what issues they are concerned about and why they do or do not vote. While young people seem excited about hot-button issues like reproductive rights and gun control, they are not registering to vote or turning out to vote in expected numbers.
