Six years later.
About 8 million Americans aged into the voting pool between the general elections in 2016 and 2020 …. and about 8 million more between 2020 to 2024.
Tell our youngest voters -- your grandkids and kids, nieces and nephews, colleagues and friends -- the truth about which candidates, up and down the ballot, have the most convincing records of defending the dignity, rights, health, voices, and contributions of women, people of color, working people, old people, political, social, sexual, and religious minorities, low income as well as middle and upper income Americans ... which candidates have the most convincing records of seeking to deliver equal justice and accountability before the law for *every* American without fear or favor ... which candidates have the most convincing records of defending and supporting the rules-based international order that has enabled us and our allies to resist authoritarians, aristocrats, *and* anarchists at home and around the world ... which candidates have the most convincing records of understanding, accepting, and acting on the best evidence-based knowledge and practices in response to climate change ... which candidates, up and down the ballot, have the most convincing records for protecting Americans from unregulated, unrestrained gun violence....
Our youngest voters are, on balance, more broadly and deeply exposed to all these things than our oldest voters (on balance). So tell them what you see. Talk them what you know. Tell them you are with them — even if 1/2 the other olds are not — and that you hope they'll be with you, too ... because long life has shown you we can do hard things, good things, fair and equitable things *together.*
