If you are an adult, you can join some members of our colloquium and transfer your own vote to someone you know who is under the voting age. You might also take a photo, tell others, or write an op-ed about it.

Whatever age you might be, you could design a logo and/or catchphrase to share on social media or other platforms to help spread the message that everyone deserves the right to vote regardless of age. If you come up with a logo or catchphrase you especially like, share it with us!

Some suggestions:

•    Make it distinctive, simple, and memorable – something recognizable in 2 seconds.
•    Emphasize that kids’ voting is empowering, liberating, self-directed, inclusive, righteous, boundary-pushing, and/or about dignity.
•    Some examples of catchphrases (feel free to steal!): “Let. Kids. Vote.”; “Votes for Children”; “Kids Vote!”; “VOTE (Voices Other Than Elders)”; and “Kids. Will. Vote.” Keep it short. Be creative!

Most likely people around you and your elected representatives have never even thought about the fact that their constituents who are not yet adults lack the right to vote. It can be explained to them that they actually need to hear from, and be pressured by, this sizeable portion of the citizenship in order to make policies that are good for everyone.
