 Racism is alive and well in this country. Here's how I know 400 voting anti voting bills have been sneaking sneaking their way through the United States this year. And 30 bills have passed. Think about that. Lawmakers have passed 30 bills to stop people from voting. 30 bills that silence the voices of black and brown people, immigrants and young voters. The worst of these bills make it illegal to give food and water to voters waiting in line and make it impossible for people to say, to have a say in the direction of our country. That is not what democracy is all about. Today we are saying enough is enough. Young people, old people, black and brown people, and people from all walks of life are coming together. We have one important message to elected officials. It's time to wake up. I am disgusted by the behavior of many of our leaders. I'm right because I want change, not just for me, but for everyone who comes next. My grandma said every generation has to earn their freedom. I believe our generations can free the generations yet to be born. A vote has held us so we need to take matters into our own hands. Teen year old and an activist, here's my question to elected officials. Why are you in office? For power or are you here to stop silent or are you here to use your platform for good? If you are here for good, it's sing our voices. We need the freedom to vote act and the John Lewis voting rights advancement act. These bills cannot wait. And here's my message to other teams. Wherever you are, it's time to build a foundation of the country we dream of and make my grandpa's dream a reality.
