Some activists are renewing the push to lower the voting age to 16. Tyler Okeke argues doing so earlier—when students are learning civics and history, rather than when they're dealing with big life decisions at 18—would make "lifelong, habitual voters." trib.al/KLLQO6c

So inspired by this!! Spoke to a friend last night whose first vote at age 18 was to vote Pinochet out and yesterday he voted to remove another piece of Pinochet’s legacy. Long way to go, but it’s so hopeful. Viva Chile!!!!

After we #Vote, we hold folks in office accountable. Voting is just the beginning.

So impressed by City of Boston elections staff & volunteers & inspired by all the early voters! My husband and I voted @ Florian Hall & it was a great process! Here we are trying to look determined, but I think we just look tired! We’re both:) #GoVote #mapoli

Looks like a great group. Eric Esteves, Matt Parker, Priscilla Flint Banks, Curdina Hill & so others. So glad you were a part of that Ron.

Thank you, Greg! Great to meet with you all and looking forward to supporting your work in the future! Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC)
