Walkouttovote promotes young voters skipping school
Saw in local paper 18 yr old high school students are planning walkouts in order to go to the polls to vote as part of a scial media [brainwashing] campaign called Walkouttovote.org. Evidently our polls open from 7am to 8pm is not adequate and they must disrupt their education and classtime to vote. The local schools said they are not providing special provisions but would honor notes from home to leave school (to me, that sounds reasonible). Most social media groups listed never heard of and is headed by Future Coalition.
from the website: https://walkouttovote.org/#map
"On November 6th at 10am, students in high schools and colleges across the country will walk out of class and march to the polls to cheer each other on as those eligible cast their votes. By bringing together young people across communities, issues, and organizations, we will ensure young people show up to the polls in record numbers and send a bold message to politicians and the country that young people are unified in our demand for change. Even if students aren’t old enough to vote, they are still encouraged to lead and participate in the walkout to help make our message heard.
Walkout to Vote is a project of the Future Coalition–a national network of youth-led organizations and initiatives. The Future Coalition works collaboratively to share resources and ideas, all with a common goal of making the future a better, safer, and more just place for everyone."
