More important then protesting; students must register to vote in the upcoming midterm election.
More then 4 million students will be 18 on or before the election. If a student is 17 but will be 18 on or before the election, they can register to vote.
Protests draw attention to a need for change, but your protest can, and will be ignored in the end. Why? because those elected members of Congress cannot be forced to change. They make the rules. The only way to get change is to remove them from office. They don’t fear you, they fear removal from office.
Work hard to register as many young voters as possible, and make candidates state a solid position on matters of importance; not buzz words or emotional rhetoric that says nothing. Pin them down. Don’t let them dismiss you.
