ALT Granting Kids Voting Rights. There are lots of kids under the age of 18 who have expressed their desire to vote and Cambridge mom, Robin Chen, fights daily on their behalf. As Co-Founder of the Children’s Voting Colloquium, Chen leads a community of thought leaders and influencers in Massachusetts and beyond who are fighting for change. Robin Chen joins Dan for discussion and invites one of the nation’s foremost experts on children’s rights, Barbara Bennett Woodhouse, to the conversation.
