Update: Kim Ong, the author of the video, sent me a quick response to my congrats about the awesomeness of the work. Kim suggested we also check out Youth Malaysia a sweet site about their movement. I'm now on a hunt to find other similar sites/countries that are empowering young people, we've seen their impact in the google news alerts, but I'm sure there are more.

When I interviewed Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this year, one of her praises for the Millennial Generation is our ability to span the globe to unite as one group working together for issues that impact us.

Here is a new video uploaded from a YouTuber in Malaysia who interviewed people about their thoughts on Generation We. Its really pretty cool to see stuff like this

Earlier this week I reported on a potential youth surge in the Polish elections. CNN is now reporting that an increased youth vote (along with their text messages and bootstrapped version or Rock the Vote) was indeed responsible for ousting the current (and pro-Iraq war) President and Prime Minister.

While both major parties have both young and old supporters, the older rural voters who tend to back the Law and Justice party appeared to be outnumbered this time by the younger city-dwelling voters.

They had conducted a text message campaign to urge young people to vote, telling them to "save Poland" and "hide your granny's ID."
