The moment we've all been waiting for is now here: whether voting at 16 makes it onto the ballot in @LACity this November could depend on your help this next week. Let's empower a new generation of voters in L.A.! #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/gc8uCo4A1r https://t.co/gc8uCo4A1r

No matter what you causes you support, it's a great time to be charitable towards others. You can look up some great, local nonprofit groups on @GreatNonprofits' list below who could use an extra set of helping hands this holiday season! #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/tHCEfhaTTZ

When Oakland joined Berkeley(& Newark, NJ) to vote in schoolboard elections, @Oaklandside covered the historic event before the eventual vote that saw Bay Area youth vote for the first time. @citysidelocal @ashleynmcb @tasneemraja #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/9a3GA1eote

Lowering the voting age helps increase voter participation because it helps youth get a say in local government, like supporters in San Francisco are arguing. #16ToVote #Vote16 @SfLafco https://t.co/7c4MZdk8q2 https://t.co/7c4MZdk8q2

Berkeley youth passed legislation almost a decade ago to vote at 16, but only voted just last year. It is because of coverage from local groups like @dailycal that helped bring more awareness of this specific cause. #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/yYZSVka7ik

Should the voting age be lowered to 16 in the Bay Area? The city of Albany already answered that question. We just need to do it for everywhere else in California where that might be possible! #16ToVote #Vote16 cc: @yesmagazine https://t.co/fg6aJD7Igv

Canada, which has its own growing movement to lower the voting age, has even reported on efforts to lower the voting age to 16 in previous years, like this article by the @CBCNews a few years ago from Culver City. #16ToVote #Vote16 cc: @SheenaGoodyear https://t.co/tTGFrkhIAy

Last summer, @Vote16CC(Vote16 Culver City) had the opportunity to speak at @TuftsUniversity's Frontiers of Democracy Conference on lowering the voting age to 16 & are working to get it back on the ballot next year! cc: @TheCentaurian #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/OdvGVU5AHj

During the efforts to lower the voting age in Albany last year @politico was among several new outlets that covered the issue during the summer, months before Albany eventually succeeded. Perhaps statewide efforts now can be covered too. #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/r6EmkdjKwx

Albany may have lowered their voting age just last year, but for cities like Oakland & Berkeley who finally saw youth vote for the first time in 2024, how did it turn out? This @KQED article by @rrileycooke looks at the results. #16ToVote #Vote16 https://t.co/MZj3i7xZA3
