DPS canceled classes last Friday to provide school employees & students an extra day for mental health.

Families were encouraged to use this time to get vax'd, but, the day off caused a limitation of food service and child care from the district #EdColo

In light of the recent tragedies that occured in Atlanta and Boulder, we need to take time as a community to heal.

We also need to take action. How can we, as youth, respond to these acts of hate?

We know that voting is a habit and 16 is a better time to establish that habit. Voting at 16 will increase voter turnout and strengthen our democracy. One of the many reasons to be excited about this amendment to #HR1.

We’re thrilled to see an amendment to #HR1 to lower the voting age to 16 introduced by @RepPressley, @RepGraceMeng, and @janschakowsky ! It is time to extend voting rights to 16 and 17-year-olds and this is the perfect way to do it. #Vote16 #StudentVoice

Seven U.S. cities have approved of lowering the voting age to 16 for local elections. Bills have been introduced in 13 states. And now the idea is picking up momentum on the federal level, with a proposed amendment to #HR1.
