@bshiggs1001 @RepKinzinger Hi! We’re actually a group dedicated to lowering the voting age in municipal elections here in Illinois, and not a group of constituents from the 16th congressional district. We appreciate your civic engagement :)

In this clip, our Youth Advisory Board member @deberry2040 gave some specific examples during the #EarthDayLive event with @FutureCoalition regarding how closely the #Vote16USA movement and the climate justice movement are linked! These issues are not independent of each other.

Our very own @deberry2040 is going to be talking with other panelists with Vote16 about how lowering the voting age can be one of the biggest steps to involve young people in one of the most important issues of our time: climate change.

[Vote16 Illinois @vote16il]

so far our opinion on Super Tuesday is that 16 and 17 year olds should have a voice in our electoral process

[Vote16 Illinois @vote16il]

REMINDER: if you are 17 right now but will be 18 on Election Day in November, you can vote in the primary on the 17th!

(we wish you could vote at a different age but we’re working on that)

[Vote16 Illinois @vote16il]

Flight attendant: is there a doctor on this flight?

Dad: *nudging* that should've been you

Me: not now Dad

Dad: not asking for a youth organization to help, are they?

Me: Dad there's a medical emergency happening

Dad: perhaps they need some advocacy to lower the voting age
