PHOENIX, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- "Millennials are entitled, disloyal, selfie-talking narcissists that need participation trophies." Sound familiar? In popular culture, these types of sentiments are often used to describe the Millennial generation. Millennial leaders James Goodnow and Ryan Avery believe these stereotypes are "fake news," and they have launched an online petition to help set the record straight.
Starting today, Goodnow and Avery are asking the public to sign their Millennials Day Petition, which calls on President Trump and lawmakers to declare June 19 as National Millennials Day, correcting stifling stereotypes about Millennials.
But isn't this petition the ultimate example of out-of-control Millennial egotism? Now Millennials want a day named after them? Not so fast. Rather than being a day about celebrating themselves, National Millennials Day will be one of service – one where Millennials give back to their communities directly.
"As a Millennial, I cringe when I hear people write-off Millennials because of stereotypes" notes attorney James Goodnow. "For me, these are the worst kind of 'alternative facts.' Contrary to popular misconceptions, Millennials as a group are outward-focused and purpose-driven. My hope is that, by encouraging Millennials to give back on National Millennials Day, June 19 will be a turning point in upending many pervasive Millennial myths."

I’d give $100 dollars to the first person to slap the livin s—t out of one of these snot nose kids.
National Snowflake Pay off my student loan day LOL
I thought they already had their own day: April 1.
Thought they already had a day - 31 October.
works for me - Feb 29th.
They are so ignorant they do not even see the irony of the demand.
RE Millennials:
Listen up snowflakes.
I grew up under a couple generations that stormed Iwo Jima, Saipan, Peleliu, Omaha Beach in Normandy, parachuted into Nijmehgan or Arhem Holland to take German held bridges, flew 30 seconds over Tokyo in stripped down B25 Mitchells, survived both Germans and freezing cold in the Ardennes, air assaulted in gliders into Germany, beat back ChiCom human wave attacks at Chosin AND pulled all their wounded and dead out as they retreated, and grinded a Tet Offensive to a halt in Hue City...
Those folks were a old as you kids. But light years more mature. And light years tougher.
And light years Better Americans.
Those folks have a day. It’s called “Memorial Day”. Read up on it.
Go back to your XBoxes and think about that for a while, before demanding your own day.
When you accomplish one tenth of what the previous generations have, then we’ll talk.
June 19th, better known since 1865 as Juneteenth since 1865.
Coincidence that they picked this date? No way.
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. The Union ships landed in Galveston, Texas on on June 19, 1865 with the late news that Lincoln freed the slaves much earlier.
It’s celebrated all over the south with picnics and parties.
These smarmy SOB millennials think they are pulling a fast one.
They have one....
The Fourth of July
Can we give them February 30th??
At 18 his Dad was gassed in the trenches of France.
They didn't get a "day" or a trophy.
Can’t I just slug one in the mouth? They don’t deserve anything more
National Fake Victim Day
For one day per year, they would receive a victim's perks with none of the messy unpleasantness of having to be a real victim.
Or knee one in the nuts ?
The 4th of Never.
I thought every day was Millennial Day?
February 29th, every twelve years?
A lot of these brats are the offspring of self-absorbed hippies who thought Yasgur’s farm was a religious experience.
The rest of us—our wood stock was the rear end of a gas-operated, semi-auto rifle. Our kids are OK. Millennial buttercups—suck it up.
