Lin-Manuel Miranda, Michelle Obama, and 14 Other Change-Makers Share Advice They'd Give First-Time Voters

"Do your own research. Learn how to think and not what to think. Our parents mean well, but you don't have to adopt their way of thinking. I understand thinking your voice doesn't matter, I for a long time didn't think mine did either. I had the luxury of thinking older, smarter people got this and I could, 'stay in my lane.' If I could tell you anything, they are most definitely older but not always smarter, and this IS YOUR LANE! This is YOUR COUNTRY, this is YOUR LIFE! Look around and ask yourself if this is the America you want. If it's not, then ask yourself which candidate aligns most with your morals and ideals and make your best choice.
