Hey everyone!
I hope all of you have been well in the last two years, in which a lot may have happened in our lives, but very little has happened in terms of Government, Brexit and enfranchising the youth.
I know some of you may have shut your ears to block out anything to do with politics (believe me, I don't blame you) but we may be heading into a General Election before Christmas.
Nothing has worked. We are no more closer to working towards the future than when the referendum occurred, without the voices of the youth.
The last two years regarding youth activism has been inspiring. From the #FridaysforFuture led by Greta Thunburg and the anti-gun resistance by Emma Gonzalez and her classmates in America, the youth of the planet have shown that they care about our futures. Right now, their voices are what we need the most moving forwards, to resolve the Brexit deadlock and work on improving the country for the future.
I may be 19 now, entitled to a right to have a say. But the 16 and 17 year olds now, still don't. Let's give this petition a push and put pressure on the Government for #Votesat16, before the General Election!
