Tisch College Solomont Speaker Series: Congressman Maxwell Frost

On October 30, 2023, Tufts University's Tisch College of Civic Life hosted a conversation with the first Gen Z member of Congress, Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL10), on his legislative priorities, representing a new generation in Congress, and the power of youth activism. A survivor of gun violence and the former National Organizing Director for March for Our Lives, Congressman Frost has been fighting against gun violence since he was 15 years old, helping to pass major gun legislation that's saved lives. He is a longtime activist and organizer and has fought for abortion rights, helped win a campaign to restore voting rights to more than 1.6 million people with felony convictions, and led a voter turnout program that drove record youth turnout.
The event was cosponsored by the Political Science Department, the Tufts Democrats, JumboVote, Tufts CIVIC, and Tufts ACTION.
