episode 17: United States: Voting during the Pandemic
Moving to a new state, participating in her first election, and managing new internships is challenging enough for most 18-year-olds to manage, but McKenzie is navigating through these rites of passage in the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this episode, McKenzie will talk about her experience living and working in the American South, what it was like to work with Vote.org - a national non-partisan organization that helps to register and inform eligible voters across the country - during one of the most heated elections in the country's recent history, and what it’s like to grow up in a time of political division in the United States.
