MAP 2021 Impact Report

...ACROSS INTERNATIONAL WATERS
Bridge-Building Across Borders
In October, MAP was honored to have nominated two young state legislators
through the New Bridge Program that were chosen to travel to Germany and
Belgium. Indeed, our nation’s leading bridge-builders — despite being the
youngest in their legislatures — are doing just that across the political aisle in their
legislatures and across the pond to improve transatlantic relations.
...ACROSS INDUSTRIES
Data Talks
A recently published WalletHub study utilizes the Millennial Action Project’s Future
Caucuses to measure millennial civic engagement and overall quality of life in each
state. The presence of a Future Caucus was an indicator of high civic engagement
and favorable living conditions.
...THROUGH A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS
The Ronald Reagan Institute’s Leadership and the American Presidency
In July, President & CEO Layla Zaidane spoke to the summer cohort of The Ronald
Reagan Institute’s Leadership and the American Presidency. The cohort was made
up of college students from around the country who are in Washington D.C. to
garner experiences in government, business, and nonprofit organizations.
National Citizen Leadership Conference
On a panel at the third National Citizen Leadership Conference, Layla Zaidane
discussed electoral reform and political bridge-building in a larger conversation
about empowering voters, diminishing destructive partisanship, and renewing
civic engagement.
UPSWELL
Layla Zaidane presented at the Upswell Conference, hosted by Independent
Sector. She spoke about how MAP is on the offensive to make progress toward a
more just and inclusive America, and how to inspire young legislators to stay the
course in this bridge-building endeavor.
Rutgers University
Alongside Kansas Future Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Rui Xu, Layla Zaidane spoke to
students of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University’s Legislative
Policymaking class. The students, many of whom intern on both sides of the aisle
in the New Jersey Assembly, asked about Future Caucus legislative successes, and
how to remove toxic dialogue from our political process.
...THROUGH THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Partnership for American Democracy: Advisory Council
Layla Zaidane proudly joined the Advisory Council of the Partnership for American
Democracy, a national nerve center driving attention, energy, and resources to
efforts strengthening democracy in America.
Walton Family Foundation
Demonstrating philanthropy’s growing attention to the need to invest in civic
bridge-building programs, the Walton Family Foundation invited MAP to share
insights on how to build a more functional democracy. Levering their own
powerful platform, they highlighted MAP’s unique approach and impact on the
next generation of leaders.
