In 2000, 8.6 million eligible 18- to 24-year-olds voted, but 15 million didn't. If you're 18 or older, you can help keep the spirit of the "Iron Jawed Angels" alive by making your vote count in the 2004 election. And if you're under 18, there are still plenty of ways to get involved in the political process.

One great resource is Rock the Vote, online at www.rockthevote.com, a nonpartisan group that joins entertainment and politics to register and mobilize young people to vote. With the help of musicians, actors and athletes, Rock the Vote Street Team members make politics hip for the new generation of voters.

Another resource to check out is Youth Vote Coalition, online at www.youthvote.org, a national nonpartisan coalition of diverse organizations dedicated to increasing political and civic participation among young people.
