Whether we are rich or poor, native-born or newcomer, Spirit-filled or agnostic, we know that young voters can create a better democracy with voting. But some people in power make it harder for us to vote, and some of our peers tell us that our vote doesn’t matter–that elections don’t matter. But we know that when we come together, we can make a power movement to secure the freedoms we need to thrive in a multiracial, multi-faith, and inclusive democracy: affordable health care, livable wages, accessible housing, and a healthy climate. We’ve come together before to influence the future of our democracy, and we can do it again.
