I had the chance to attend an Inauguration celebration Sunday night in Washington D.C. hosted by Declare Yourself, an organization started by television producer and philanthropist Norman Lear. The group helped register over 4 million young voters over the past two elections, and that night officially launched it's Born Again American campaign. 

The party, hosted by Jessica Alba,  featured performances by Maroon 5 and John Legend, and a  DJ set by Samantha Ronson closed out the evening.

The point of the new campaign is to get young people to be committed to the rebirth and re-expression of citizenship through informed and thoughtful activism.
