Issues in Depth

Members of NYRA-Patterson, NJ pose for a group picture in front of their official chapter van.

NYRA looks at a number of issues related to the rights of young people, and many aspects of the movement can be explored in our research section, but there are a few issues on our forefront that we explore in depth. When it comes to lowering the drinking age, lowering the voting age and repealing youth curfews there is no better place on the Internet to go for information. We have extensive studies, research papers, statistics and some of the best reasoned talking points and arguments you’ll find on these issues.

Our arguments have been published, quoted and cited by academics and activists alike. So if you want know all there is to know about lowering the drinking age, lowering the voting age and repealing youth curfews, explore this section of our website.

NYRA’s mission centers on challenging age discrimination against young people, both in law and in attitudes and supporting the basic freedoms afforded to young Americans in the Bill of Rights.
