Thank you to the 2020 TEDxYouth@PCI Virtual Event for inviting our Youth Vote co-founders, Finn Creeggan and Xin Law Gallagher to talk about Youth Vote.  This event created a platform where PCI students shared ideas, learned from each other, and learned from other Parkdale and Toronto residents. Finn and Xin were honoured to share the stage with Canadian Astronaut Jeremy Hansen. We are so impressed with the students of Parkdale Collegiate Institute for organizing this important event.

As you know, Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the US election although President Trump is contesting these results. This has been one of the closest races for the US presidency in history, showing us that every vote counts! This is why we think Youth Vote and similar election engagement initiatives are so important. 

We would like to extend or thanks to everyone that participated on our site. For those who voted we appreciate your civic engagement. For those who shared our site we appreciate your willingness to engage others. For those who gave us feedback we are grateful for your comments. 

Youth Vote still has more to come. On November 27th two of our Co-founders (Finn and Xin) will do a TEDx Talk on the importance of youth engagement in politics. We will share the link soon!

What’s your biggest concern about your future and why? Why do you think it is important to vote as youth?

On October 15th, twin town halls were hosted by NBC and ABC, with NBC interviewing Trump and ABC, Biden.

Please share youthvoteonline.com and give youth a voice in decisions that matter to us.

“I think that it is important to vote as a youth, because everyone’s vote counts no matter what race you are, your age, or where you are from. Kids need to know in the early stages of life that voting matters.” -Youth, Age 13
