Our generation is sitting on a treasure.

That treasure is millions and millions of votes. The value of that treasure can be seen in how badly our politicians want -- or fear -- those votes. Those votes are tools we can use to shape our world and create a more just society -- but like any tool, they only have impact if we put them to work.

We claim that power by registering to vote (and verifying that our info is up-to-date), making a plan to vote in the next election (and every election), and making sure everybody we know is committed to join us.

We increase that power by holding candidates and elected officials accountable for the change and justice we need, by calling their offices, investing time or money, getting visible and making noise.

We celebrate that power by doing it together, doing it with music, and doing it loud.
