🗣️ Gen Z is speaking—is America listening? Our latest survey dives into what young adults really think about democracy, and it's time for us to pay attention. Only 13% of young Americans have high trust in government institutions. Yet, when it comes to academic institutions and older generations, trust levels are considerably higher. What does this mean for leaders in both the public and private sectors? It underscores the urgent need to build and rebuild trust, especially as we approach a pivotal Presidential election year. Let’s leverage the positive sentiment and bridge the civic knowledge gap.
