OpEd: 'Right now, we are too young to vote, but if this path continues, we fear there will be nothing left when we are of age.' - Isabel (Izzy) Peterson, Indi Barnes, & Sophia Theoharis Caruso from UniteThePoor
, protesting near Capitol Hill with 100 people from all over the country who are willing to risk arrest to get voting rights, and to speak out against the voter suppression tactics rolling out nationwide. Even though we’re not old enough to vote yet, we’re ready to fight for our right to do so when the time comes, because we’ve seen from history that democracy has to be fought for.
At the Seneca Falls Convention, 173 years ago this week, women raised awareness of the issues of their day, including economic inequality, injustice, and voting rights — but. Today, women of all races, ages, and genders are demanding the right to vote and to raise the minimum wage. We stand with our friends, family, and allies in the movement to protest these same issues.
For our entire lives we have watched people in our families and communities organize to build power among the disenfranchised, including with the Poor People’s Campaign. The impact this has on our lives shows us the importance of caring for those who others say don’t matter. We believe this action and others like it will call attention to the rights that women deserve. On Monday, we marched and chanted in the streets. It was so energizing. Marches like this show people in power that everyone, no matter their gender, age, or race, deserves their voting rights.
