Eric Kennedy

Eric Kennedy is a youth rights activist and youth liberationist. He often protests on the streets of Seattle and speaks out for Youth Rights at Seattle City Council meetings. He believes in the abolition of the voting age, full legal autonomy/decision making power for school age kids, a strong social safety net capable of serving every kid, reform of compulsory education systems so that schools are governed for students by the entire student body, collective bargaining organizations dedicated to consolidating and exercising power for youth as a political class, and extensive immigration rights for kids to emigrate to other countries. When he was young, he saw many peers being treated poorly, and the conclusion he came to then and still believes in now is that kids need the power to shape their own lives in order to reduce the constant abuses they face.
