Detailed Factual Report

Young activists are volunteering for opposing candidates, driven by concerns about Israel, antisemitism and their community’s future.

This article was produced as part of JTA’s Teen Journalism Fellowship , a program that works with Jewish teens around the world to report on issues that affect their lives.

They may be too young to vote, but that hasn’t stopped some Jewish teenagers across Manhattan from entering the political fray.

As Democrat Micah Lasher and Republican Caroline Shinkle compete to represent New York’s 12th Congressional District, some teenagers are finding their own ways to influence an election in which they cannot cast a ballot. Motivated by concerns about Israel and antisemitism, they are volunteering, debating and finding their own place in the political conversation.
