Making Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
Ryan supported: Make Election Day a Federal Holiday in the U.S.Many teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
Lillis supported: Lower the National voting age to 16 in the United StatesAmerica needs to stop destroying our historical sites, no matter how small they seem. These parts of our past play a vital roll in making a vibrant present and future. We must see the value in these landmarks before they’re all gone.
David supported: SAVE THE PINK HOUSE NOW! STOP THE DEMOLITION!We recently saved a historic home, "Green Gables" here in Melbourne, Florida. When we disregard our past we disregard our future.
LISA supported: SAVE THE PINK HOUSE NOW! STOP THE DEMOLITION!As a former Stop & Shop employee who also works and lives in MA, I cannot help but feel for the employees of this store. This is an unnecessary and cruel policy, especially considering the working conditions. Customers and those who have never worked in retail may not realize this, but working in a grocery store is a physically demanding job. From those that are working enormous loads, stocking shelves, and retrieving carts out in scalding hot parking lots, to the cashiers and baggers on the front end, everyone needs access to water! It's bad enough that employees aren't even allowed to sit down during their shift, but now they must do so without water to stay hydrated? How are they expected to serve customers like this? This is cruelty, plain and simple. Allow your employees to drink water while on the sales floor. Everyone needs to have water, not just those with medical issues.
Rachel supported: The Right to Hydration: Let Stop and Shop Employees Have Water on the JobYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
