Fight by John Della Volpe

*NATIONAL BESTSELLER*

From John Della Volpe, the director of polling at the Harvard Institute of Politics, Fight is an exploration of Gen Z, the issues that matter most to them, and how they will shape the future.

9/11. The war on terror. Hurricane Katrina. The 2008 financial crisis. The housing crisis. The opioid epidemic. Mass school shootings. Global warming. The Trump presidency. COVID-19.

Since they were born, Generation Z (also known as "zoomers")--those born from the late 1990s to early 2000s--have been faced with an onslaught of turmoil, destruction and instability unprecedented in modern history. And it shows: they are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than previous generations, a phenomenon John Della Volpe has documented heavily through decades of meeting with groups of young Americans across the country.

But Gen Z has not buckled under this tremendous weight. On the contrary, they have organized around issues from gun control to racial and environmental justice to economic equity, becoming more politically engaged than their elders, and showing a unique willingness to disrupt the status quo.

In Fight: How Gen Z Is Channeling Their Passion and Fear to Save America, Della Volpe draws on his vast experience to show the largest forces shaping zoomers' lives, the issues they care most about, and how they are--despite older Americans' efforts to label Gen Z as overly sensitive, lazy, and entitled--rising to the unprecedented challenges of their time to take control of their country and our future.

JOHN DELLA VOLPE is the Director of Polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, where he has led the institute's polling initiatives on understanding American youth since 2000. The Washington Post referred to him as one of the world's leading authorities on global sentiment, opinion and influence especially among youth and in the age of digital and social media. John appears regularly on MSNBC's Morning Joe, and his research and insights are often found in national media outlets in the U.S. and abroad, including the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. John is also founder and CEO of SocialSphere, a public opinion research firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
