In April of this year, the Pew Research Center
announced that Millennials had surpassed Baby Boomers as the largest
age demographic in the country. Given their dominance, the votes of
young adults this election cycle can make or break a candidate.
Photographers supported by The GroundTruth Project were dispatched
across the country to document the issues and concerns of everyday
people from an emerging generation facing a myriad of obstacles.
The resulting body of work 'Season of
Discontent' captures the distress and anxieties many Millennials face as
they chase their vision of the American dream. Photographers
interviewed young citizens protesting a police shooting, rural Americans
dealing with drug addiction and homelessness and people hailing from
one of the most liberal corridors in the nation. The following images
and quotes are excerpts from the work. Some quotes have been condensed
for brevity. The full report and visual presentation can be found here.
