On March 2, 2024 our teens hosted their Legislative Activity at the Tinley Park Roller Rink. The event provided music, skates, and energy for community teens to enjoy while voicing and exercising their power to vote at a Skate to the Polls young voters registration drive.
As of Jan. 1, Illinois allows 16-year-olds to pre-register to vote in future elections. When they are 18, they will be able to exercise their civic duty. Teens who joined the event brought their driver’s license, and other ID’s to register to vote.
For this event we partnered with the League of Women Voters of Homewood-Flossmoor and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NCBW). We were also joined by Monica Gordon, 5th District Cook County Commissioner, and other elected officials.
