This new, non-partisan organization engages in extraordinarily important education in the community on civic engagement. I am truly impressed by the values of Generation Now and I work hard to personify what they stand for.”

“It’s exciting to see young people speaking up and advocating for increased civic engagement, more accountability from their elected leaders, and a more just and equitable Bridgeport community,” Senator Moore continued. “I’m looking forward to helping them advance their mission and message in any way I can.”
