Manage episode 299106061 series 13382
July 1 marks 50 years since the ratification of the 26th Amendment.

In honor of this historic anniversary, join our panel of youth organizers leading the fight against youth voter suppression and to learn how the 26th Amendment might help provide contemporary solutions.
