I have a hard time spelling the word millennial. I can never remember if it's two Ls or two Ns or how many Es it has (it's both and there's one). Steven Olikara has to spell it all the time as the founder of the Millennial Action Project - a nonprofit dedicated to political cooperation through millennial leadership. Steven stopped by the booth with some of his staff to discuss some of the challenges of running a politically focused 501c3, fundraising and the promise of the millennial generation. In honor of said generation we popped open the first box of wine in #WineGrants history. #millenniels #milennials #millenials #politics #hashtags
