  <title><![CDATA[Georgia teens become unlikely warriors in redistricting fight]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Alex Ames, a School of Public Policy student, was quoted in the article, &#39;Georgia teens become unlikely warriors in redistricting fight&#39;, on November 25, 2021, on&nbsp;<em>NBC News.</em></p>

<p>The article discusses youth activism in Georgia&#39;s redistricting.</p>

<p>An excerpt:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;It was actually much easier to get involved than during the normal legislative session. We didn&rsquo;t have to skip school to testify. There were much more public input opportunities across the state,&rdquo; Ames, who now serves as the group&rsquo;s communications director, said in an interview. &ldquo;That made it really easy for students who had all these frustrations with S.B. 202, which felt like it snuck on some people.&rdquo;</p>
