With Election Day looming, citizens across the United States are getting ready to hit the polls. Not every citizen may cast their ballot on November 6, but for students of the city of Utica, they want their voices to be heard.

On Sunday, a group of five teenagers hit the streets of Utica to rally undecided voters to vote for their candidate. Danielle Conie, an organizer for the Citizen Action, spearheaded the plan.

"We want the people who aren't even going to vote for themselves to go out and vote for us,” said Conie.

Door after door, more than 300 doors to be exact, were reached by this small but determined group of women. Each carrying a different message for voters.  

"Because we are refugees, because we are immigrants, because we are people of color — we aren't as willing to participate in voting as much,” said Manal Alawsaj. "This country is close to my heart because it is my country. I want it to be the best of the best that it can ever be."

For other students the thought of gun violence in schools is at the top of their agenda. High school junior Maggie Parker hopes the political world can manage to fix what she calls a mental health issue in American.

"It not solely about the gun control its mental health it's this and this,” said Parker. “It is watching the actual mental health of the students and making sure that those resources are in the school.”
