This is what it looks like when HS students run voter registration drives for their peers in school. They're not just registering voters, they're learning about democracy & becoming agents of their own political futures. We'd like to see it in all 27,000 high schools in America. Join us!#edusky

Please join me in attending the FREE conversation between Laura Brill& Bryan Maygers on her article, “Getting Youth Engaged In Democracy.”
The central point is to increase the infrastructure to get teens to register to vote. Once registered, they tend to actually cast ballots.

Remember when everyone said young people had “shifted to the right”? 2025 says: not so fast.
Young voters showed up — informed, engaged, and ready to protect democracy.
Let’s keep fueling that energy by helping every teen register, learn, and lead! 💪🗳️

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a major threat to (what remains of) the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But this isn't the first time the VRA has faced dire threats; in 2013 and 2021, SCOTUS weakened other provisions. We can learn from those why Callais could be so dangerous 🧵

Voting starts with registration. Teens have the power to close the gap.
4 million Americans turn 18 every year, but for decades only 30% of them have been registered to vote in midterms compared to more than 75% of people aged 45 and older.
