DESCRIPTION:Join Jennifer Frost for a discussion and Q&A about her book "Let Us Vote!", 
 which tells the story of how and why the United States has a voting age of 
 18.  Over a thirty-year period starting during World War II, Americans, 
 young and old, Democrat and Republican, in politics and culture, built a 
 movement for youth voting rights that achieved the 26th Amendment to the 
 U.S. Constitution. 1971 was the last time that the United States 
 significantly expanded voting rights, enfranchising tens of millions of 
 young Americans since. This historic achievement recognized 18, 19, and 20 
 year olds as full citizens, deserving of having their voices heard within 
 the political system. Jennifer will focus on the youth voting rights 
 movement in California, which played a significant role in the nationwide 
 effort.\n\nWe will also provide voter registration forms for anyone 18 and 
 over who is interested in registering to vote. \n
