Come bear witness and join the fray at this special mid-day program, Politics IRL: Debating the Legal Voting Age.Gen Z voters will take the stage at Boston’s longtime bastion of free speech and civic action, the Old South Meeting House, as they frame, discuss, and debate the question of whether the legal voting age should be lowered—locally, statewide, and/or nationally.
Engaging in this discussion alongside them will be former members of Congress, local lawmakers, and you, the audience!
As is the tradition for Revolutionary Spaces events, the audience will be encouraged to clap, thump, stomp, and “Huzzah!” their approval for the arguments presented—with respectful “Fies!” in opposition always in the mix—followed by a lively Q & A.
GBH digital producer Alexi Cohan will serve as debate moderator.
Co-sponsored by GBH News, Suffolk University and its Congress to Classroom program, and Revolutionary Spaces, Politics IRL: Debating the Legal Voting Age is free and open to the public thanks in part to the generous support of the Lowell Institute.
This program will be recorded by GBH Forum Network for later viewing.
Doors will open at 12:00 pm and the program will begin at 12:30 pm.
