We are live! Politics In Action politicsinaction.org/live-stream with Jan Eichhorn talking about the evolution of #VotesAt16 around the world Votes at 16 NI
Great to attend Politics In Action Votes at 16 NI Conference Queen's University Belfast 🎓 today #TheTimeIsNow
Thank you so much for inviting me to give the keynote at this event launching the Votes at 16 NI campaign. Amazing energy and so much great work from youth activists. I loved the conversations on #VotesAt16 and enjoyed presenting our #Vote16 research from d|part Think Tank and School of Social & Political Science Edinburgh
Delighted to host the Votes at 16 NI conf dinner in City Hall, & speak at their conf in Queen's University Belfast 🎓 today. I’ve been involved in this campaign for many years, since my time as a youth worker. With youth champions such as Sian Mulholland MLA in Stormont I know the issue won’t be ignored.
Grateful to o Sian Mulholland MLA Matthew O'Toole and Robbie Butler MLA for their participation today. We are grateful that their parties and Sinn Féin support #VotesAt16 - but action to legislate here is long overdue
Commissioner Chris Quinn and NICCY Youth Panel members spoke at today's Politics In Action conference about amending the voting age to 16. Chris posed the question to legislators: “Is not lowering the voting age to 16 an act of political self-interest?”@votesat16NI #VotesAt16NI.

It was so lovely to receive a video greeting from our friends at #Vote16 Canada for our Votes at 16 NI campaign launch on Friday. #VotesAt16 #TheTimeIsNow - made the world a little smaller and gave our campaign a great boost!
Our colleagues at Make it 16 also sent a greeting all the way from Aotearoa (New Zealand) where young people took the government to court on human rights grounds - and won! #VotesAt16 #TheTimeIsNow Votes at 16 NI JRRT The National Lottery Community Fund NI Votes at 16 NI Secondary Students’ Union NI Queen's University Belfast 🎓 NI Youth Forum
