Individual donors, PACs, and Super PACs, EXPLAINED! Best student-led voting event ever, ! 👏

That’s the R.A.V.E. energy we talk about. Congratulations to all the students, teachers, , and everyone who made this happen. Entertaining, educational, and inspiring!

Thank you for inviting us and our high school AYCL fellows to be part of it. This is what’s possible when young people have the safe space to be fearless, get creative, and express themselves fully. They brought the questions, the talent, and the energy, and our whole community feels it. 🔥

🎤 Live from Spokane, it’s Voters Night! Our youth is fired up. Let’s carry that energy to the ballot box!

🗳️ VOTE! Drop off your ballot by November 3!

🗳️ VOTE EARLY. VOTE NO ON I-001, I-638 & I-645!⁠
⁠
Just one week into their role, our new Advocacy Coordinator, Maria Sarmiento, testified before Spokane City Council on Oct. 7th, 2026.⁠
⁠
The Spokane City Council has since passed Resolution 2026-0075, formally opposing ballot initiatives I-001 and I-638, a meaningful affirmation of the importance of care and safety for our young people.⁠
⁠
Now let’s bring that energy to the ballot box! ⁠
⁠
VOTE EARLY, VOTE EARLY and VOTE EARLY!⁠
We’re standing strong for accessible elections and everyone’s right to be heard. Voting early gives you time to get support, avoid last-minute mail delays, and resolve any ballot issues.⁠

Turn the youth voice up! 📣 Today is National Voter Registration Day. 🗳️⁠
⁠
Recent primary turnout data from Spokane County reminded us that young voter turnout remains low.⁠
⁠
It's hard to trust the current political system. Voting isn’t the only way to create change, but it’s still one powerful tool we can use to fight for our rights.⁠
⁠
Every vote you cast is an act of hope. Together, those acts of hope build a movement.⁠
⁠
New voter? Turning 18? Register or check your information today at VoteWA.gov so you’re ready to vote! And remember: In Washington, 16 and 17 year old can sign up as Future Voters ahead of time. 💛⁠
