March For Our Lives

Today I registered voters at the rally and march for March For Our Lives in Santa Clarita, CA. It was a large-for-the-area, enthusiastic crowd, full of teenagers, children, and parents.

In CA and some other states you can pre-register to vote at age 16, and will be automatically registered when you turn 18. I met a lot of teenagers raring at the bit to vote.

Did any of you attend a march?

Yep! I attended in Madison, WI. Large, diverse, peaceful crowd; families, single folks, friendly dogs, groups of friends. And a voter registration table that was both well-staffed and quite busy!

I remember being thoroughly bummed at not being able to vote in 2000's election... darned age 16.
