Know any young people (or any people) who are on the fence about voting?

Even if you can't convince them to watch a 3-minute video themselves, this is full of persuasive talking points to use.

"The old guys like me are showing up (to vote) at about 50 or sometimes 60%... but as we go down and the groups get younger, the turnout is diminishing... By your lack of participation, you grant to us, a small, well-heeled minority, the power to govern over you, over the majority, in ways that are fundamentally unfair."

I'm so grateful for good guys like Dennis Mehiel and Tom Steyer.
