    “I can’t vote but if I could I’d vote to avoid Brexit round two. That happened partly because young people were too apathetic and didn’t realize the power of their political voice. Every vote counts.” -Georgia Graham

    “I’m voting today because this is one of the most important elections I will experience in my lifetime. We cannot allow our country to be run as a reality TV show and undo all of the social advancements that have been made for women and people of color that one of the candidates would like to destroy. We have come too far to let such archaic ideals take root again. I hope our country does the intelligent thing and elects a person who has experience, even though there are flaws, and not destroy the choice for women to own their own bodies, for queer, gay and non-binary people access to their human and equal rights, and choose not to support and champion racism and antiquated patriarchal values and ideals.” -Honey Dijon
