@Rainmaker1973 @mhofner methinks there are applications to this "the sum of" "the little bits of" to democracy and the will of the people

@dmlubell @PhillyOIA yes -- _and_ let's welcome children into the electorate.

[Robin Schanche Chen @RSchanche]

@AmberMcReynolds @WhenWomenVote_ I'd like to see which state will be first to expand suffrage 'regardless of age.' ⏳

[Robin Schanche Chen @RSchanche]

(to the tune of 'Let My People Go')

Go down, suffragists
Way down in M-A land
Tell old Mariano
To let MA children vote!

@RepMoulton @youthpwrproject Another step: advance 'voting rights regardless of age.' Confer dignity and status of voter to under-18s. Let electeds be rewarded with ballots for working for under-18s, for responding to their voices. Their vote is their voice. Lift every voice.

@museumofplay interesting. i wonder if there are toys from suffrage movements, such as around the time of the Voting Rights Act of 1965?

@SETLLab @RWJF @UICPsychology @UIC_CollegeofEd This reminds me of listening to this hearing https://t.co/kJuCeQ5P6h where bills included "An Act enhancing learning in the early school years through a ban on school exclusion in pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade"

@DanWuori "I'm worthy" of the right to vote.

@DonLawr86874954 @AmandaTylerBJC @RepMaxwellFrost wow, powerful image

[Robin Schanche Chen @RSchanche]

@APPAM_DC hi from left field!
students: a way to make public services work for all is to ensure that electoral processes include all, and a major hindrance to that is laws that exclude under-18-year-olds from developing as voters. vote18 laws are counterproductive! hear children's voices!

[Robin Schanche Chen @RSchanche]

@KCOU_MN @NStarProsperity pardon, intergenerational *justice*

[Robin Schanche Chen @RSchanche]

@KCOU_MN @NStarProsperity political will to fund childcare 🤔might be inadequate *because* the elective franchise excludes all under-18s. we're expecting elected officials to make policies that would result in intergenerational injustice without supplying those elected officials with votes from under-18s?

[Robin Schanche Chen @RSchanche]

@NStarProsperity #letkidsvote ought to be part of the 'ask,' since electoral power will ensure that programs are funded, well-operated, and responsive to users
