Outspoken is a video series about real people who care about real issues.

 

Young people aren’t turning out to vote in the same numbers as previous generations and Laura O'Connell Rapira wants to change that.

Laura is a creative campaigner, crowdfunding enthusiast and planner of parties with purpose. She says that if you don’t feel represented by those in power, it's important to remember that you’re not alone.

But you need to start talking about it.

“It’s by talking about it that we can bring this issue to the forefront of people’s minds. And it’s only by bringing the issue to the forefront of people’s minds that we can begin to change it.”
