Alexander Steed, Millenniel Activist
"From October through November 2008, Alex will travel to over 30 cities across the United States to meet, interview and report how young people are using the Internet to leverage their social and political power. When I was a teenager, I was always inspired by interesting, accessible stories about what other young people were doing to better the world. Now I'm trying to contribute to that same narrative as a self-proclaimed millennial activists. Millennial Activists, also known as Social Citizens, are, according to social entrepreneur and writer Allison Fine, "young people ages 15-29 who practice a nascent model of civic participation that combines immersion in social causes, idealism, digital fluency." Traveling from the East to the West Coast, visiting everywhere in between, and returning again, I aim to convene the American youth, the next generation of this country's social and civic stewards."
