More TED Talks You already know it's important to vote -- so why, in many countries, do so few people actually bother to do it? Eric Liu thinks it's time to make voting fun again. In this stirring talk, he celebrates the surprising power that individual voices can have when we come together at the ballot box. Watch »   Our kids are our future, and it's crucial they believe it themselves. That's why Nadia Lopez opened an academic oasis in Brownsville, Brooklyn, one of the most underserved and violent neighborhoods in all of New York City -- because she believes in every child's brilliance and abilities.

Quote of the Week “ Why bother voting? Because there is no such thing as not voting. Not voting is voting, for everything that you may detest and oppose. Not voting can be dressed up as an act of principled, passive resistance, but in fact not voting is actively handing power over to those whose interests are counter to your own, and those who would be very glad to take advantage of your absence. Not voting is for suckers." Eric Liu Let's make voting fun again
