As a writer very interested in the challenges facing young Americans today, I'd be remiss if I didn't point you to a package in The American Prospect's March issue on "mobilizing Millenials." A good chunk of the pieces are tired hat, but a few are worth reading. I'd recommend Kate Sheppard's article on organizing efforts at community college and nontraditional campuses and Dana Goldstein's piece on young people and unions.
