Running for office is great, but that march did nothing. It was a one time gesture. I am talking about consistent action. Those protests should happen every weekend. The teachers are showing the way with strikes. That’s action.

@Livia

Last April with two other volunteers, we registered 74 high school students to vote, during four, one-hour lunch hours. As volunteer college mentors, we already had background checks done. The high school kindly set up tables and chairs for us to use.

"Register to vote!" I yelled, dancing around with a big smile. "Right here at these tables! It takes TWO MINUTES! The media says young people won't vote. PROVE them wrong!"

We will do it again in September and October, 2018.

@LiterateHiker see! I was right. Teachers are the best. They see reality and serve the community everyday. Their response is like a social barometer- if the teachers complain or strike, there is something that needs fixing in society at large.

Great comment.

@Livia thanks. I truly do believe that's where they're coming from. When you throw in the religious aspect, it just makes it worse.

@Condor5 small successes can snowball. Keep doing it and it will gather momentum. Also, get it marketed! Marketing doesn’t have to be expensive.

@Condor5
Read my post. We registered 74 high school students to vote during four, one-hour lunch hours.

@LiterateHiker sorry, sometimes I look in the fridge and can't find something that's right in front of me. I guess I meant to ask in context of %, but Livia made a good point that the number, per se, isn't as important as the effort. Good job. 74 does seem like a lot.

Love that kind of contribution. Thanks!
