Jack Lobel: Elections obviously do have consequences. Young voters delivered in the Biden and the Ossoff/Warnock elections. When our interests are taken into consideration, we step up.
@JackPLobel @VotersTomorrow

Jack Lobel: Young voters of color voted 91% for Ossoff & Warnock. We think the stakes are just as high in 2022.
Rick: This could be the last free & fair election we have. There are 19 states that have passed voter restriction laws.

Jack Lobel:Young people of any racial or ethnic group are most likely to be disenfranchised. If foreign gov'ts see our power & take that into consideration, they could help pass legislation to make it difficult for us to vote, esp. for college students

Jack Lobel: Look at what's happened in the last 20 years--that's what's motivated us. We've lived through two global recessions, a 20-yr war, a pandemic. These are things that motivate us. My generation thinks & acts with the future in mind.

Jack Lobel: Issues like wealth inequality, gun violence, climate change are things we want to change in our country. Most of my generation will hopefully live for decades & decades. We're dedicated to fixing systemic issues.

Jack Lobel: I'm a 17-yr old high school student. I don't think I'm an anomaly in getting involved in politics. My generation thinks we've been left behind, so we need to take things into our own hands.

Jack Lobel: Every community has their own set of shared experiences. My generation has shared experiences, as well, such as active shooter drills & dealing with COVID-19. Gen Z needs to be represented in politics, too.

Jack Lobel: Voters of Tomorrow has some great resources, but getting involved in your local community should be the first step. There's a gap where people should be fighting for us but no one is. Check out our website:

Jack Lobel: I'm not even old enough to vote, yet here I am talking to you about voting & getting involved. Sometimes a voice is louder than a vote but when you combine the two? It's powerful.
@JackPLobel @VotersTomorrow

Jack Lobel: I think Pres. Biden has been fighting for Gen Z in a way other presidents have not, certainly not Donald Trump. We'd like to see Gen Z be included in an advisory capacity in the WH.
