The upcoming federal election marks the first time Gen Z and Millennial voters outnumber Baby Boomers, making this a crucial moment to understand and respond to issues of intergenerational fairness.
Young people experience social and economic issues in different ways than generations prior. By recognising the shared and unique challenges they face and finding ways to address them, we can work together to create a fairer future and stronger democracy for everyone.
Join this for this Democracy and Inequality Learning Circle, where we’ll explore:
- What intergenerational fairness really means – and why it matters for all of us
- The challenges different generations face across areas like economic opportunity, wellbeing and climate
- Insights from young leaders driving economic, social and climate reform
- Practical ways you can support a fairer future for all generations.
This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from emerging leaders and discover how your giving can create a lasting impact. we’ll be joined by Brianna Kerr (Founder, Five Bucks), Thomas Walker (CEO, Think Forward), Desiree Cai (National Director, Tomorrow Movement) and Taylor Hawkins (Co-Founder + Managing Director, Foundations for Tomorrow).
