No pressure, but everyone's doing it. With 19 million Americans eligible to vote for the first time in 2016, there's never been a more exciting, or critical, moment to get involved in the political process. And don't let those ridiculous claims about millennial apathy get you down — from 2012 to 2015, at least 10 elections were decided by fewer than 100 votes (that means your ballot is a big deal). With tight races careening toward their November finish lines, don't miss your shot to influence the issues that matter most to young people, like the minimum wage, immigration policies, and student-debt reform. Watch one determined first-time voter brush off True Lies actor Tom Arnold to cast his ballot — and bring one friend with him. If we all do that, and all our friends bring their friends, enough of the 83 million millennials in the country can cast their ballots to swing the vote. Make sure you're registered and ready to make your voice heard.
