How Adults can Answer Young People’s Call to Vote For Us

On September 17th, National Voter Registration Day, the RYSE community (including youth members and adult allies) created a street mural in front of RYSE Commons. The call to action, "Vote for Us" encourages people old enough to vote to learn about local issues important to young people.

What you can do:
Spend the next 10 minutes listening to young people sharing their thoughts on the upcoming election season.

Young people shared their knowledge of current ballot issues in a gameshow-style video series. Check us out on Tiktok!
