All over the country, young people are organizing, mobilizing, and making a big impact in their communities – despite not having a say in electing the people who make so many decisions about their daily lives. Right now, you have a big chance to help change that.

Young people work, pay taxes, and contribute to the economy. But when it comes to issues like school curriculum, school safety, climate change, gun control, and more, they have to stand by with no say in selecting who will make decisions with huge impacts on their future.

We think this is a chance for cities across the country to invite young Americans into lifelong civic engagement. But we want to hear from you! Do you agree with lowering the voting age to 16 for local elections so young people can have a say in the issues that directly impact them?
