New Video: "When We Choose"

Washington, DC – Youth advocacy organization Generation Opportunity is out with a new animated video, "When We Choose." The upbeat, forward-looking video poses a question: what kind of progress can our generation make when the government gets out of the way?

The two-minute, twenty-six-second video points to ridesharing, space-sharing, and food trucks as prime examples of how the government uses burdensome taxes and regulations to intentionally stifle emerging industries that are threatening to disrupt the status quo.

"Government will tell you that these laws are in place to protect us, and [we] get it – we want laws to keep people from [stabbing or stealing]," the narrator says. "But to keep us from finding a ride, renting out our homes, or getting a dang quesadilla from a food truck? It just ain't right."

Generation Opportunity President Evan Feinberg released the following statement:"'When We Choose' is about innovation vs. cronyism. Laws promoted by special interests allow protected businesses to grow lazy, discouraging competition, limiting choices, and bumping up prices. But when our generation is able to choose what works best for us, we have the power to reward principled businesses that meet our needs and desires – and shun the ones that don't.

"Generation Opportunity is laying out a vision for what's possible when big business and government no longer choose what's best for us. When we're able to explore new ways of doing things, our generation – not entrenched interests – will decide what the future holds."
