    The civil rights of youth across the country are worth another donation.

    This is being donated on the day of my 18th birthday. This is being given when the issues this organization deals with no longer apply to me. Why am I donating then? Because first they came for the Jews, I remained silent, for I was not a Jew...

    No one should be judged by age. Young people should be allowed to enter the adult world just as soon as they can demonstrate appropriate competence in one or more areas. Infantilized and trapped in the idiotic world of teen culture, many teens are understandably depressed or hostile. Until we allow competent teens to enter adult society, teen turmoil in the U.S.--the worst in the world--will continue. The NYRA is the only organization dedicated to achieving this important goal. It provides an invaluable service to our young people, our families, and our society as a whole.

    The senseless restrictions on and cruelty toward youth are a silent menace to our society. NYRA is the best hope to cure this.

    NYRA is the nation's leading champion of the civil and legal rights of youth. Constitutional rights are not just for adults, and the continued success of NYRA is vital to ensure liberty and justice for ALL citizens, regardless of age.

    Nothing is more essential to the prosperity and wellbeing of a free society than learning the practice and respect for our most basic rights. Youth is the best time to start.
