On Thursday afternoon actor and former White House staff member Kal Penn talked to student journalists from across the country as part of a college press junket to talk about his new Freeform series, “Kal Penn Approves this Message” and the upcoming election.
Through the non-partisan show, Penn aims to give a platform to young adult voters to meaningfully engage with the election.
Penn said young voters can come together in support of an issue, across party lines on campus and local levels, to influence not just the presidential race, but to advance other causes as well.
