Youth Voting Rights Advocacy

The Andrew Goodman Foundation Is Growing An Engaged Base Of Young People

All Americans have the right to an equal vote, not just in name, but in practice. We believe in a just democracy that is inclusive and equitable for all. This year is the 50th anniversary year of the 26th Amendment, which not only lowered the voting age to 18, but also prohibits age discrimination in voting. As student civic engagement has grown in the last few years, so have the arbitrary barriers that impede their ability to vote. When people can’t vote, voices aren’t heard, and that means our democracy isn’t working. Let’s take action to advocate for a democracy that works for all of us.
