Basically every Millennial owes it to every underage Gen Z to get out there and vote. In the absence of voting power, we are seeing these incredible Gen Z activists advocating for their own safety. They shouldn’t have to. These are children being forced to fight for their lives, and we owe them so much better.
Millennials have a huge amount of legislative power. Millennials make up more than 30% of those eligible for vote.
Millennials own 30+% of national voting power.
We outnumber the boomers.
Millennials outnumber boomers.
But traditionally we vote at lower rates. That statistic is changing, and it needs to change faster.
At this point I think we can all agree, millennials are morally obligated to use their voting power to protect a younger generation that has, like us, been failed and abused by the boomers. Get out there, register, vote, speak. Do not fail Gen Z the way our elders failed us.
Vote. Vote on the side of science, civil rights, and domestic safety. It’s a chess move, not a valentine.
Vote.
Vote in every election you can! Change starts at the local level! Boomers are in your community frantically trying to suck your schools and libraries dry for nickels and dimes off their taxes, continue prohibition of marijuana because they’re fucking narcs, and burning tax dollars on militarizing thugs I mean cops.
people who unironically use multiple exclamation points in texts are the cutest fucking thing omfg. even mundane things are made cuter like “just got on the bus!!!! will be home soon!!!” like yeAH UR ON THE BUS U BIG CUTIE. I WILL SEE U AT HOME. LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET.
