The Vote is a the campaign to protest the voting age on November 7th, 2000. It is a partnership of various youth rights organizations and independent organizers all committed to lowering the voting age in the United States of America. We believe that the current voting age denies millions of deserving US citizens the fundemental right to vote and should be lowered.
Young people are tired of being treated like second-class citizens in America.
They are tired of facing oppression at the hand adult American society. They are tired of unconstitutional age restrictions. They are tired of being stereotyped by the media as violent, lazy, stupid and apathetic. Above all else, young people want to be a partner in the political process. They want the right to vote, to have a voice in the American Democratic Process.
