Activist: Time for youth-centric politics

Speaking with the Newsday, Alexander noted the need for a more youth centric political approach in the nation.

With his political party holding a youth rally on Saturday, at 19 Stanmore Avenue, Queens Park West, Port-of-Spain, Alexander holds the point of view that young persons have been left out of politics for too long and it is time to activate youths politically.

In speaking about his aim to mobilise youths, he said his party’s “Orange Army” initiative was simply an outlet for youths to raise issues that concerned them.

Citing home ownership, debt and infrastructure, as issues that would only continue to worsen in the future, Alexander said those issues must begin to be addressed if there was to be any hope for youths in the future.

Asserting that it was time for “dinosaurs to stop making decisions,” Alexander expressed his desire in seeing youths getting more involved in politics and, thus, adding the passion of youthful voices to the decision- making process of the nation.
