According to Michael Moore in the 2018 election in Michigan, they DOUBLED their young voter turn out by adding a marijuana legalization initiative and an initiative that would make gerrymandering and voter suppression against the law. BOTH initiatives PASSED with large margins.

To bring out young voters we need ballot initiatives on every ballot in every precinct that are important to young voters.

We need to start now to get those initiatives on ballots.
