Young People Less Engaged in Politics?, National Park Cuts and Harlem Week in Swing

from What's What

According to a new study conducted by the Associated Press, younger adults are less engaged with U.S. politics than older adults. WFUV’s Lainey Nguyen went out on Fordham’s campus to see what young people think about this data and find out how they interact with politics. This year, the federal government has made drastic cuts to National Parks. Permanent staffing at the National Park Service has dropped 24% since the Trump administration took office. WFUV’s Alexandra Pfau reports on the deeper impacts. Harlem Week is in full swing. The annual event features job fairs, health screenings, and ends with a weekend of live music.
