Debunking Objections to Youth Enfranchisement in Brattleboro and Beyond
Hi. My name is Mark Tully, a resident of Brattleboro. I’ve been helping out the youth leadership of the Brattleboro Youth Vote campaign – which comes to a head in this Tuesday’s town elections with a ballot measure (Article II) that partially enfranchises youth aged 16 and 17. I’ve worked with youth leadership around the country in various political and artistic projects for over 25 years, and continue to do since moving here four years ago.
While monitoring opinions in the local press, and talking to residents during petitioning and community events, there are some common objections that arise.
