Video Highlights from a Better Deal 2009

Last week, Demos, in partnership with over 30 partner organizations hosted its second A Better Deal Conference, bringing together politically-engaged young adults, community organizers, young elected officials, policy advocates, get-out-the-vote volunteers from 2008, community and four-year college students, and others to build a movement of young adults to support policy reforms that will lead to a new social contract, and an economic recovery comprised of good jobs, widespread opportunity and a path to financial stability that will last well into the future.
