Chi Osse's transition from party organizer to politician exemplifies how the 2020 protests against police brutality motivated a new generation to engage actively in democratic processes.
The footage of George Floyd’s death during the pandemic fundamentally shifted Osse’s perspective, driving him to take part in protests and document the reality of police violence.
By recording and sharing the protests on social media, Osse highlighted the disparities in media portrayals of the events, directly confronting the narrative presented by major news outlets.
Osse’s unexpected victory at 24 years old as New York's youngest councilman underscores the potential for youth activism to catalyze significant political change in local governance.
