Good Evening -

Sixty years ago, Rosa Parks took her seat at the front of the bus. She wasn't sick and tired of being treated like a second-class citizen, she was motivated and passionate about creating change. She knew that change doesn't happen by 'sitting' idly. 

"The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," she said.

With issues like crippling student loan debt and the continued struggle for equality, the youth of America are in a similar position today. The 2014 elections reminded us what can happen if we don't show up. Only 21.4% of 18-29 year-olds cast a ballot in 2014, and as a result we are seeing women's rights restricted, voting rights challenged, and continued loose gun control laws which help allow for the ongoing mass shootings we see far too often.

If we want change, we have to make it happen. You can take the first step today by visiting www.ourtime.org/vote registering to vote and ensuring your voice is heard at the ballot box.

Let Rosa Parks be a constant reminder of what one person can do.
