The actor behind the sign Captain America, Chris Evans, is engaged in a different fight: that of encouraging young people to vote. A group of students will accompany him to the White House on Tuesday to meet members of US President Joe Biden's team.
According to People reports, there will be a dozen young people aged 17 and 18 who will be able to discuss sensitive issues such as climate change, economic opportunities and access to employment with, among others, the Secretary of Energy and Employment and the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury of the United States .
This initiative is part of an effort to encourage new generations of voters to vote in the next elections in November 2024.
In 2020, Chris Evans and actor Mark Kassen founded the website A Starting Point to provide reliable, non-partisan information to American citizens who had questions about politics.
“We live in a country of more than 300 million people, I believe that barely 60% of the population voted in the last elections. “In my opinion, given these numbers, it will be difficult to form a government that accurately represents who we are as a country,” Evans told People in 2020.
