Nov 2017

I have a cousin who turns 18 in February. She's told me several times how jealous of me she is because I went to a Women's March.

I usually get her makeup as a birthday present (she's a makeup addict currently in cosmetology school) but this year her birthday present will be a voter registration form. I need to get that kid registered and voting.

ETA she lives in a swing county, swing district, swing state.
