During our collaboration with The Next 100, we discovered that 25% of Black youth trust in their local government. The survey, conducted in partnership with the Next 100, involved interviewing 2,089 individuals aged 18-40. Participants were asked about their level of trust in their local government, with responses ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The results showed that 25% agreed with trusting their local government, while 35% disagreed, and 39% neither agreed nor disagreed. This survey sheds light on the perspectives of Black young adults regarding democracy, government, and trust in their communities. #GenForward #Data #BlackScholar #BYP #BlackYouthProject #BlackYoungAdults #Democracy #LocalGovernment #Government #Trust #BlackWomen #BlackMen
